Ahmedabad's soft, pillowy sev — thicker, paler and gentler than bhujia, with black pepper doing a slow polite burn. The only fried snack Gujarati grandmothers call breakfast.

Instructions

1
Whisk gram flour with pepper, ajwain, oil and salt.

Drain; they soften a touch and that is correct.

Chef's tip

Gathiya is pale by design — colour means over-fried and hard; pull them early.
