Krok za krokem

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the chickpea flour, baking soda, carom seeds, black pepper, turmeric powder, and salt.

   Přibližně 2 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Ensure all dry ingredients are well mixed for even flavor distribution.

2. 2

   Add the dough vegetable oil to the dry ingredients and rub it in with your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

   Přibližně 3 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: This step helps create a tender texture in the fafda.

3. 3

   Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead until a firm, smooth dough forms. The dough should be stiff, not sticky.

   Přibližně 5 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Add water slowly to avoid making the dough too soft, which can make it difficult to roll.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.

   Přibližně 30 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Resting helps the gluten relax, making the dough easier to roll thinly.

5. 5

   Divide the rested dough into small, equal-sized portions, about the size of a marble.

   Přibližně 2 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Consistent size ensures even cooking.

6. 6

   Take one portion of dough and place it on a clean, flat surface, preferably a wooden board or a non-stick surface. Using the heel of your palm, press and slide the dough forward with firm, even pressure to create a long, thin strip, about 6-8 inches long.

   Přibližně 5 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Practice makes perfect for this technique. The goal is to make them as thin as possible without tearing.

7. 7

   Carefully lift the fafda strip from the surface using a thin, flat knife or spatula.

   Poznámka kuchaře: Be gentle to prevent breaking the thin strips.

8. 8

   Repeat the rolling process with the remaining dough portions.

   Přibližně 10 min

9. 9

   Heat the frying vegetable oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium heat until it reaches about 170-180°C (340-350°F).

   Přibližně 3 min

   Poznámka kuchaře: Test the oil temperature by dropping a small piece of dough; it should sizzle and rise immediately.

10. 10

    Carefully slide a few fafda strips into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

    Přibližně 1 min

    Poznámka kuchaře: Frying in batches helps maintain oil temperature and ensures even cooking.

11. 11

    Fry the fafda for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, or until they are light golden and crisp.

    Přibližně 3 min

    Poznámka kuchaře: Fafda cooks very quickly due to its thinness; watch them closely to prevent burning.

12. 12

    Remove the fried fafda with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

    Přibližně 1 min

13. 13

    Repeat the frying process with the remaining fafda strips.
