It is basically a form of salted chanachur mixed with roasted peanuts, corns, finely chopped onions, green chillies and the star of the show, amra, that gives it a sour and tangy taste. This is what gives the Ghoti Gorom that special X Factor! But since it is not always abundantly available, vendors these days replace it with raw green mango and grated carrot. The roving vendor carries his ware in a cylindrical container aka ghoti tied securely with a gamchha and dangling from his neck with a number of medium-sized vessels surrounding the ghoti. The entire merchandise is covered with a ubiquitous red cotton cloth or gamchha.
