Vanela Gathiya
Vanela Gathiya is a popular Indian snack made from chickpea flour (besan) and various spices. It is deep-fried to create a crispy and crunchy texture. Vanela Gathiya is often enjoyed as a tea-time snack or as a crunchy topping for chaat dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chickpea flour (besan)
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain)
- Salt to taste
- Water as needed
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, carom seeds, and salt. Mix well to combine the dry ingredients.
- Slowly add water little by little and knead the mixture into a smooth dough. The dough should be firm but pliable.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Fill a sev maker or chakli maker with the dough and choose a disc with small holes for thin gathiya.
- Press the dough directly into the hot oil in a circular motion to form long strands of gathiya. Fry until they turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried gathiya using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough.
- Allow the gathiya to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
- Enjoy!
