  • About

This is a simple snack that looks like a small, stout stick. It is easily prepared using a ganthia press, which can be found at most Indian grocery stores. The prepared dough is pushed through the holes in the mold and the small sticks of the dough that come out are deep-fried.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups (200 grams) besan (chickpea/gram flour)
  • teaspoons table salt

Method

  1. Put the besan in a bowl. Add the salt, turmeric, chile powder, and ajwain, and stir.
  2. Heat ¼ cup (50 ml) oil in a small saucepan and add it to the besan
