Not sure what it was about it. I think the first time I had golgappe, I expected the water to be sweet, and when it was salty my taste buds revolted. Nobody told me to put the whole thing in my mouth at once, so I also made a huge mess and had the water running all over my face and hands and dripping on to my shirt....hopefully your tips will help other travelers avoid this mishap!

Since I can buy them just up the road from my house I've never tried making them myself. But now I'm determined. As long as I have the obligatory tamarind water running down the back of my hands I will be satisfied. Thanks for posting this! Oh Reeti, this is fantastic motivation for me!
