Instructions

1

Mix and Knead

Combine all dry ingredients with the ginger and chillies. Mix in melted vegan butter and warm water to form a dough. Let rest for 20 minutes.

2

Shape

Pass the dough through an extruder. Pipe into swirls on parchment paper.

Method A: Deep Fry (Classic)

Heat oil to 155°C. Fry until golden brown and crispy. This produces the most brittle, airy texture.

Method B: Bake (Lighter)

Preheat oven to 180°C. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway. Ensure even thickness for a snappy crunch without hard spots.

Serving Suggestion

Store in an airtight container once completely cooled to maintain that essential crunch. Perfect for Diwali celebrations or as a tea-time snack.
