fafda recipe | fafda gathiya recipe | how to make gujarati fafda with step by step photo and video recipe. snack or farsan is very important part of gujarati cuisine or gujarati snacks. farsan is a broad category of snacks specifically prepared from besan in which fafda recipe is highly popular. more commonly the snacks are prepared on special occasions or festivals specifically to please the guests, and also enjoyed as evening time snack with tea.

i have not posted much gujarati cusine recipes, but i was receiving several recipes requests especially on fafada and farsan recipes. to be honest, gujarati cuisine is my husband’s favourite recipe and according to him, i do not prepare great gujarati recipes. perhaps he could be true as i personally do not like to have sweet in all my recipes and curries. having said that i my personal favourite chat recipe is dabeli and i enjoy it with hot and sweet tasty mixture. even with this gujarati fafda recipe i personally like it with spicy green chutney recipe, but my husband enjoys it with jalebi.

fafda gathiya recipefurthermore, some important and critical steps to make crispy and tasty gujarati fafda recipe. firstly, i have used fine besan and it works great for fafda recipe or any farsan recipes. in addition the besan dough has to be kneaded to sticky and smooth so that it can be spread smoothly. secondly, while stretching the fafda, be gentle and do not add extra pressure, otherwise it would stick to bottom. lastly, i have added baking soda to get the fluffy fafda. alternatively, papad kharo can also be added to get the authentic taste.

finally i would like to conclude by highlighting some of my snacks recipes collection with this post of gujarati fafda recipe. it includes, khaman dhokla, rava dhokla, khandvi, sev tamatar sabzi, dabeli, namkeen chivda, bombay mixture, palak pakoda, onion pakoda, veg bonda and ragda patties recipe. in addition, do visit my other recipes collection like,
