Steps

20 minutes

1

In a blender, combine 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup oil, and papad khar. Blend until frothy and white.
2

In a bowl, mix besan, salt, and carrom seeds. Gradually add the blended liquid to form a dough. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes. Add 2 tbsp water and mix the dough again. Heat 2 cups oil until slightly hot (not too hot).
3

Grease the ganthiya machine and fill it with the dough. Press the dough into the oil using the machine. Wait 2-3 minutes before turning.
4

Fry on medium-low heat until crispy but not red. Remove and cool. Store in an airtight container. Serve with tea or coffee.

Tips

Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid burning the ganthiya. Fry them on medium-low heat for the best texture.

I love cooking especially for my son. He is the one who gives me his opinion on every dish. I am eager to learn dishes from other states. I'm more interested in authentic and traditional recipes rather than just fusion and decorations. I love simple, authentic and realistic recipes.Follow me on Instagramdarshana_me
