One of many Indians favorite items of choice when it comes to farsan, is this deep-fried disc of doughy goodness, stuffed with a wealth of spices. It unites the gentle sweetness of dried coconut, and the musty, warming flavours of poppy, sesame & cumin seeds, with the tang of dried, powdered mango, and the potency of chilli. It is the perfect commingling of spice with crunch, the ideal snack with a cup of steaming chai.
