About Ganthiya
Ganthiya is a savory Indian snack that originates from Gujarat. Made primarily from chickpea flour (besan), it is seasoned with simple spices such as ajwain (carom seeds), turmeric, and salt, which give it a distinct flavor. The dough is shaped into sticks and deep-fried until crisp, resulting in a light, crunchy texture. Popular as street food and often paired with chai, Ganthiya is a timeless part of Gujarati cuisine. While chickpea flour is rich in protein and fiber, its deep-fried preparation makes it high in calories and fat, making moderation key for health-conscious individuals. Variations exist, allowing for baked or air-fried options that reduce oil content. Ganthiya is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten intolerance, but its high sodium levels may not be ideal for those monitoring their salt intake.
