Ganthiya

Ganthiya (Gujarati: ગાંઠિયા/ગાંઠીયા) are deep-fried Indian snacks made from chickpea flour.

[1] Along with Khakhra, Fafda, Dhokla, and Khandvi (among others), they are among the most popular snacks originating from the Indian state of Gujarat.

They are a popular teatime snack not only in Gujarat but across India and also among non-resident Indians (NRIs) across the world.

Besan (chickpea flour), chilli powder, turmeric, ajwain (carom seeds) and salt are mixed along with water to form a stiff dough.

Then they are lifted out from the oil and drained on absorbent paper before being stored in an airtight jar.
