Fafda is a popular snack from Gujarati cuisine in India, typically enjoyed with jalebi, chutney, or shredded papaya salad. Made from gram flour (besan), turmeric powder, carom seeds (ajwain), and a pinch of salt, the dough is shaped into thin, crispy pieces before being deep-fried to golden perfection. Fafda is light and crunchy, making it a delightful treat for festive occasions or as street food. While it offers protein and dietary fiber from gram flour, its deep-fried preparation contributes to a high calorie and fat content. Eating it in moderation is key to balancing its nutrients with its impact on health. Fafda reflects the rich culinary traditions of Gujarat, emphasizing bold flavors and satisfying textures, but frequent consumption should be mindful of the oil used in frying.
