Golgappas hold a very special place in Indian hearts and stomachs. It is undeniably a treat that has been one of the street foods we have missed the most during lockdown. Different regions in India have their own variations of golgappa and various types of flavored water to go with it. These water balls are conventionally stuffed with boiled potatoes, onions, chickpeas and tamarind chutney before they are dipped in tangy water made with mint and chillies. From street side stalls to big restaurants, this iconic snack has found its way everywhere and we are not complaining.
The snack is so popular that it has inspired many flavourful renditions. Golgappas are now available with modern twists where the water is replaced by melted chocolate, cheese corn filling, and so forth.
