Secret Beauty || Contest No 8: My Favorite Food 🍽 || 15-06-2021
Hello everyone, I hope you are safe and doing good in this pandemic.
I heard about this contest and was willing to participate.
So here is my entry for this competition.
One of my favorites street food is GOL GAPPE. I can have this in any season, any time and in any mood.
As most of the Indians like Gol Gappe, also called by so many names like Paani-Puri, Puchka and many other names in different parts of the country.
It has a combination of all, when you don't know what you want to have, this is the perfect thing to have at that time. Gol Gappa is filed with sweet or sour or both sweet and sour water which enhances your taste and mood and the most liked crispness and can also have dried with the combination of tamarind chutney, dahi and spices. It is also a fun to have it because most of the teenagers bet on who's finish all the gol gappe faster and who have it more. Even after having it you will not feel full. A perfect thing to have with your family and friends. The best thing about Gol Gappe is that it is easily available and do not cost more. Sometime after having food we do not feel good, but after having Gol Gappa you will never complaint, due to its ingredients. Each and every ingredient have benefits of consuming it.
