Ice Gola (popularly known as 'Snow Cones' in the West) is essentially ice shavings, with a more granular and crunchy texture, topped with flavoured sugar syrup. The Indian twist to this dessert, is a dash of Chat Masala, which adds a sour and salty flavour to the dessert, and on slurping (yes, that's how its supposed to be eaten) you get hit by the saltiness of the masala and then the sweetness of the sugar syrup.
