To make fafda, combine all the ingredients in a deep bowl and mix well.

Once the dough has been prepared, it still might be sticky. Therefore add oil to it and knead it again for 2-3 minutes more.

Once done divide the dough into 12-15 equal-sized portions and make them into small balls.

Step 5:

Place the roll on one side of the chopping board or any flat surface with the base of your palm press and stretch it vertically with light force from one end to the other to form a long strip.

Step 6:

Loosen the strip gently with a sharp knife.

Step 7:

Heat the oil in a deep non-stick pan, add the fafda, and deep-fry on a medium flame till it turns crispy and light brown in color. You can deep-fry 2 to 3 fafdas at a time. Drain on absorbent paper.

Serve the Gujarati Fafda along with Jalebi, Gujarati Kadhi, and Papaya salad.
