Chorafali Fafda
This is my mom's recipe and it is a favorite savory item during Diwali. Enjoy this with my spicy mint chutney already on the blog.
Ingredients
- 4 cups besan flour
- 1 cup urad flour
- 1/2 cup water lukewarm
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- pinch turmeric powder
- 2 tsp red chili powder garnish
- 1 tsp black salt garnish
- 1 tsp chaat masala garnish
- salt to taste
- oil for deep frying & greasing
Instructions
- Using a sieve, sift both flours, baking soda, turmeric powder and salt in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Using lukewarm water, slowly add in to the mixing bowl. Mix well.
- Knead dough until it is stiff.
- Using a muslin cloth or napkin, cover the dough for at least 10 minutes.
- Divide dough into small pieces.
- Take the dough, add a drop of oil, and use a pestle to pound into the dough. Fold dough and repeat process until dough turns smooth. It should take 8-10 minutes.
- Take a small piece of dough, grease with a little oil and make into a round shape. Make sure to keep all the remaining dough covered so it does not get dry.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out the dough to a thin circle. Lay each piece on a clean cloth sheet. Repeat process until all are done.
- Using a pizza cutter, cut into wide strips. Place all strips on a tray.
- Using a deep pan, heat oil on medium heat for deep frying.
- Once oil is ready, take a few strips and fry until it is light brown, cripsy and puffed.
- Then place them on tray lined with paper napkin. It will help absorb excess oil.
- Mix red chili powder, black salt and chaat masala. Sprinkle on top of each fafda.
- Store them in an air tight container.
