Chorafali Recipe

Snacks are an all-time favorite of my family. I guess it is the same with every family, especially where kids are there. I am quite aware of the unhealthy snacks that are available in the market nowadays. They may taste good but are loaded with calories and cholesterol. Since snacks are something that becomes really difficult to control at tea time, I thought of preparing my won snacks at home.

I love making different types of snacks at home, however, I tried this chorafali recipe when the very little ingredient was available in my kitchen and I was determined to prepare something out of it. Chorafali is a Gujarati vegetarian snack so everyone can enjoy it. This recipe is made with basic ingredients only. They are chickpea flour and urad dal flour. Chickpea flour is available in every kitchen and urad dal can be ground to get the flour of this snack.
