Gathiya

Description

Gathiya is a tea-time snack. It is primarily made of besan or gram flour. It is like a thicker sev, however, there are a few notable differences. There are usually two kinds of Gathiya: Tikha (spicy) Gathiya and regular Gathiya. The difference is in terms of the spices used in the dough. The regular one has carom seeds, salt, turmeric, soda bicarb, and a dash of oil. Tikha has additional spices like black pepper and red chilli powder. The dough is then made to pass through a mould, making its strands, straight into the oil for deep frying. The end result is not crunchy, but a bit soft. Must try, for sure!
