* firstly, knead the besan dough really smooth and soft.

* also make sure to rest the dough for atleast 30 minutes, else the fafda wont turn crispy.

* addiotnally, add black pepper for more flavours.

* finally, **gujarati fafda** can be stored in airtight container for a week and served as required.
