Tikha Gathiya Recipe | Teekha Gathiya Recipe | Diwali Special – Gujarati Gathiya Recipe

Tikha Gathiya is a beloved snack in Gujarat and is made from a mixture of besan (chickpea flour), spices, and oil. The mixture is then shaped into thin, twisty strips and deep-fried until crisp. Tikha Ganthiya is often served as a snack or accompaniment to a meal and is known for its spicy and crunchy texture. Mostly Tikha gathiya is the most famous snack and is liked by everyone worldwide.

During Diwali, Tikha Gathiya is a staple treat in every household, with each family having its own unique recipe.

There are wide varieties of Gathiya available at farsan shops, including Papdi gathiya, Bhavnagri gathiya, Teekha gathiya, Methi gathiya, Palak gathiya, and more. The best way to enjoy Gujarati Gathiya from the farsan shop is with papaya or carrot sambharo, fried green chili, and kadhi chutney.

Making Gujarati Gathiya at home is not difficult, and with the right skills and a few tricks, even beginners can achieve a crisp and crunchy texture. While the batter preparation may take some time, frying the Gathiya is quick and easy. The result is well worth the effort, providing a tasty and hygienic snack that can be stored in an airtight container for up to a month.

Enjoy Tikha Gathiya with a hot masala tea or as a side dish, and make it the main ingredient in various chevdas and mixtures. The thickness of the Gathiya depends on the size of the sev maker mould and personal preference.
