Mix gram flour, red chili powder, turmeric powder, cumin seeds, and salt in a bowl.

Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the mixture and mix well.

Gradually add water little by little, kneading the mixture into a dough.

Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes until smooth.

Transfer the dough to a worktop and continue kneading.

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

Divide the rested dough into small portions and shape each into a cylinder.

Press the cylinder lightly on the surface to flatten it.

Stretch the dough with your hand to form the Fafda shape.

Use a knife or palette knife to scrape out portions of the dough and place them in hot oil for frying.

Fry on medium heat until golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes.

Remove the Fafda from the oil and strain onto absorbent paper.
