Gathiya are deep-fried Indian savory snacks made from gram flour (besan) dough, originating from Gujarat, and known for their crunchy texture and savory flavor. The snack is highly popular across India and comes in various shapes, sizes, and flavors, such as the traditional Bhavnagri, spicy Tikha, or Fenugreek-flavored Methi Gathiya. Gathiya is a versatile snack, enjoyed on its own, with tea, or incorporated into dishes like salads and chutneys, and is a common tea-time accompaniment in Gujarati households
