A fascinating legend tells of Draupadi returning home after her marriage to the five Pandavas, where her mother-in-law Kunti set her a challenge. At that time, the Pandavas were in exile, living with limited resources. Kunti wanted to see if her new daughter-in-law could adapt to such a lifestyle.
Kunti provided Draupadi with some leftover vegetables and enough wheat flour to make Poori, instructing her to create a meal that would satisfy everyone. Although taken aback by this request, Draupadi embraced the challenge. Seizing the opportunity, she crafted a truly unique dish! She concocted a tangy water, and a spicy filling, and prepared small puris. The result was a hit, and it is said that this marked the birth of Golgappa in Magadha.
While there are no definitive texts detailing the exact origins of this dish, two key components—potatoes and water—are essential for completing Golgappa. Without them, the dish lacks flavor and authenticity. Historians suggest that since these ingredients were introduced to India around 300-400 years ago, the dish likely originated in Magadha, which is now known as South Bihar.
