Steps

20 minutes

1

In a bowl take besan. Add carom seeds, turmeric powder, asafoetida, baking soda, salt and oil. Mix everything and add water little by little to make a semi soft dough.
2

In total I added 3 tablespoons water. Depending on the quality of besan, you can add a total of 3 to 4 tablespoons of water.
3

Make small lemon size balls from the dough.
Do not grease board or kitchen platform where you make fafda with oil as then the fafda cannot be pressed easily. Spread some oil on your hands if you want, before starting the next step.
4

Now with the heels of your palms, with a light pressure and force, press and flatten the dough ball and at the same time move the palms forward. Keep equal pressure throughout but do not put a lot of pressure. If you apply too much pressure then fafda will stick to board and will break while lifting. This is the only tricky part in the whole recipe. you need to apply light pressure as well as move further while pressing and flattening the fafda dough.
5

You will get a long elongated shaped fafda. Gently pick it up from the board. Also do not make fafda too thin as then it cannot be lifted easily. You can also lift fafda with a knife or spatula.
6

Heat oil in a flat pan. When the oil becomes medium hot, check a small tiny piece of the dough. It should gradually come up on top of the oil. Now reduce the flame to low-medium. Add the fafda pieces gently in the oil.
7

Begin to fry at a low-medium flame. Turn over and fry till crisp. Do not fry till too much browned. Fafda gets fried quickly, so the frying needs attention.
Serve Fafda with jalebi or chutney or a cup of tea.
Enjoy
