Ganthiya

Description

Ganthiya is a popular Indian deep-fried snack made from gram flour. It has origins in the Indian region of Gujarat, where it is commonly served with tea. Unlike most other Indian snacks, ganthiya is not crunchy, but soft and puffy. It can be found throughout Gujarat at numerous street stalls, but the snack is especially popular during Diwali. There is also a sweet version of ganthiya, called mitha ganthiya , while the plain version can be additionally flavored with red chili powder.
