Bhavnagri Ghanthiya is a popular Gujarati snack that hails from the city of Bhavnagar in Gujarat, India. It is a crispy and spicy deep-fried snack made from gram flour (besan) and spices.

Bhavnagri Ghanthiya is known for its unique texture, with a crunchy exterior and a slightly softer interior. It is enjoyed as a standalone snack and is often served with tea or as an accompaniment to other Gujarati snacks like fafda and jalebi. Bhavnagri Ghanthiya is also popular during festivals and special occasions, where it is prepared in large quantities and shared with family and friends.

To prepare Bhavnagri Ghanthiya, a dough is made by combining gram flour with spices such as turmeric, red chili powder, asafoetida, ajwain (carom seeds), and salt. Water is added to the mixture to form a firm dough, which is then extruded through a special instrument called a “sev press” or “sev maker.” The dough is pressed through small round or diamond-shaped holes in the instrument, resulting in thin, noodle-like strands of dough.

These strands of dough are then deep-fried until they become crispy and golden brown. The fried Ghanthiya is typically seasoned with additional spices such as black salt, chaat masala, and sometimes even a sprinkle of sugar for a sweet and tangy flavor.
