GOLAS... GOLAS....###


The Gola wala is the ice slush vendor. With several  bottles of colorful syrups lined up in his cart, an ice crusher  machine 
and such essentials like gola sticks, glasses and bowls, he 
churns out the most tasty ice golas.
On crushed ice the flavored syrups like Kala khatta, orange 
is poured with a sprinkle of chaat masala and it is sucked to enjoy it's taste.
Kala Khatta is one of the flavors of tangy syrup that is
poured on crushed ice to form a Gola. Gola is ice candy 
that is generally a frozen, tangy flavored ice slush, quite
similar to the American snow cone.
One has to lick or suck the syrup from the ice candy.
It is also known as  'Chuski.''. It's one of Mumbai's 
speciality  the kala khatta  flavored golas. 
Now a days you do get sterile golas made by people
wearing gloves and using bottled safe mineral water
for the ice.


MAKE HOME MADE GOLAS...
Will need orange or kala khatta or kachi keri syrups,
some water, ice candy or gola sticks and chaat masala
to sprinkle on top to serve.
Mix in water the syrup of your choice. 
Put in kulfi molds or ice candy mold.
Make different layers, using different 
colored syrups. For doing this, set
layers after interval of time, 
so that the first layer sets then pour, 
second colored syrup. 
Remember to put a stick while setting.
Keep in freezer section of the fridge,
let it set for many hours.
Serve with a sprinkle of chaat masala..
Ais kacang is a Malaysian dessert. 
Traditionally a special ice machine is 
used to churn out the shaved ice used
in the dessert, but now more often 
motorized. Today, ice kacang generally
comes in bright colours, and with
different fruit cocktails and dressings..
