Watermelon and Chaat Masala Granita
"New* on the blog today! Watermelon and Chaat Masala Granita! 😍 Growing up in Mumbai, in the 100% humidity tropical weather, we ate a LOT of Gollas. Gollas are essentially shaved ice, shaped into a round ball on a stick. The street vendor will give you your sugary, artificially colored, flavor of choice in a glass with the golla, you dunk it in and slurp it, making the biggest slurrppp sound! Wait for your tongue and lips to get colored 😂 I don’t know how I ate it but we loved it then!! All the gollas were sprinkled with chaat masala!! If you have not tried Chaat masala, I think you are missing something in life 😂 It is available online or in Indian grocery stores. It’s this tangy, salty, sour spiced powder made by grinding toasted cumin, coriander, dry mango powder, rock salt, black pepper etc. This granita is a Watermelon and Chaat Masala Granita! It’s so good!!! And refreshing!!! And you will not stop eating it. It reminds me of the gollas in Mumbai, but with better ingredients! 😍 We finished the entire serving in two days with the current heatwave that is going on in in our area, driving us absolutely crazy!! 🥵"

Still looking for ways to cool down? Check out @thejamlab’s Watermelon & Chaat Masala Granita! This is her take on a Golla - a sweet shaved ice dessert served in Mumbai. Gollas are typically topped w/ Chaat Masala which is made of spices like coriander, cumin plus dried mango powder. This adds a tangy & sweet bite to this frozen treat!
