You simply need to fetch rose squash or rose flavoured essence from the market (usually available in syrup form) and upon adding it to a stock of boxed ice- it can be lead to a great dessert. So when are you surprising your loved ones with one of the finest street foods in India? Now is a good time to begin.
Khus flavoured, green coloured Ice gola
One of the most attractive and highly ‘in demand’ flavours of the wonderful treat of ice gola is the khus flavour.
