Welcome to YFL. I'm making an absolutely perfect 'Fafda'.

Into a bowl, take 1 tsp papad Khar, 1 tsp asafoetida, and add 4 tsp water and mix well.

In a big bowl, take a sieve and sift 2 cups gram flour. Add salt to taste, 1 tsp carom seeds, and 2 tbsp oil. Mix the oil nicely with the gram flour and massage it with your hands.

Add the water mixture and mix together properly. Add 1 more tbsp of water and knead the dough until semi-soft.

Add 1-2 tsp of oil and knead again until the dough is slick and sticky. Test the dough by stretching a small portion between your hands.

Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth until ready to shape.

Heat oil to 160-170 degrees Celsius for frying.

Shape the Fafda by taking some dough, forming it into a cylinder, and using the heel of your palm to shape it on a wooden board.

Separate the Fafda from the board using a knife and drop it in hot oil to fry on medium flame.

Fry until crispy and light in color, turning occasionally. Transfer to a strainer to let excess oil drip off.

Prepare a spice mix with 1/2 tsp black salt, 1/2 tsp asafoetida, and 1 tsp black pepper powder and mix well.

Once the Fafdas are ready, sprinkle the spice mix on top for flavor.

For the Sambharo, peel a small sized raw papaya and cut it into quarters, removing the inner membrane.

Grate the papaya into long, thin juliennes using a grater with large pores.

In a pan, heat 1 tbsp oil, add 1 tsp mustard seeds, 8-10 curry leaves, 1-2 green chillies, and 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, then add the grated raw papaya.

Cook for 2-3 minutes on high flame, stirring, then add salt to taste, 1 tsp sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice, and stir nicely.

Plate the Fafda with the Sambharo.
