In this blog post, I am thrilled to share with you a step-by-step guide on how to make Fafda at home. With this recipe, you can indulge in the irresistible flavours of this snack whenever your heart desires. So, without further ado, let’s dive into the world of Fafda-making!

To begin, gather the following ingredients:

• 2 cups of Gram Flour
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 tablespoon of oil

Now, let’s move on to the method:

1. In a small pan, combine all the ingredients except for the oil. Give them a good mix, ensuring that they are thoroughly combined. Once mixed, add the oil to the mixture.
2. Knead the ingredients together to form a perfect dough. The dough should be smooth and pliable, allowing you to work with it easily.
3. Once the dough is ready, it’s time to heat up your oil. Choose a deep frying pan or a kadhai and fill it with enough oil for frying. Heat the oil on medium heat, allowing it to reach the ideal temperature for frying.
4. While the oil is heating, take small strips of the dough and shape them into thin, elongated strips. These strips will be fried to perfection, resulting in the signature crunchiness of Fafda.
5. Carefully place the dough strips into the hot oil, ensuring that they are fully submerged. Allow them to fry for approximately 2 minutes or until they turn a beautiful golden brown colour. The frying process will bring out the irresistible flavours and textures of the Fafda.
6. Once the Fafda strips are cooked to perfection, remove them from the oil using a slotted spoon or a pair of tongs. Place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Now, it’s time to serve and enjoy! Fafda is traditionally accompanied by an array of delectable chutneys. You can savour your Fafda with tangy and spicy green chutney, sweet and tangy papaya chutney, or even a fiery and flavorful garlic chutney. The choice is yours!
8. Indulge in the crispy goodness of Fafda, pairing each bite with the chutney of your choice. The combination of the crunchy Fafda and the tantalizing chutney creates a harmonious blend of flavours that will leave your taste buds dancing with delight.
