Instructions

Mix all dry ingredients (besan, salt, crushed pepper, ajwain, baking soda and hing) in a bowl.
Make medium soft dough by adding little water at a time.
Then drizzle oil on the dough, grease your palm and knead the dough for good 7-8 minutes to make it smooth.
Cover it and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Making Fafda Recipe:
After the resting time, divide the dough into 17 equal portions, make oval shaped balls.
Heat the oil on medium heat for deep frying.
Work with one ball at a time, put it on a wooden board. Press the one end slightly and then using your palm stretch the dough in forward direction to make it about 6 inch long.
Now take a sharp long knife, run it under the rolled fafda to remove it from the board.
And drop into hot oil, similarly roll and add into the oil 3-4 at a time.
Fry both sides till they get crisp and cooked. No need to look for golden brown color.
Once fried remove it to a paper towel lined plate and repeat the same for rest.
Serve them warm or at room temperature.
