Fulwadi is a crunchy, savoury snack from Gujarat made from gram and rice flour, seasoned with flavourful spices, and formed into thin strands that are then fried. It is a popular recipe and can be prepared for Jain Paryushan 2026. The mixture of both flours gives the snack a distinct crunch, and the addition of sesame seeds, ajwain, hing, and ground spices lends it a warm, savoury flavour. When made correctly, the strands become crunchy and not heavy. The key factor in the fulwadi recipe is preparing the dough. The dough must be soft enough for the press to allow it out, yet firm enough to stay intact during frying. Some sesame oil and lemon juice help create a more delicate batter, and the rice flour infuses the final product with a crispy texture. The dough is pressed into hot oil in small quantities so that it cooks evenly. Fulwadi can be prepared in accordance with the traditions of Jain Paryushan 2026; however, its availability will depend on the dietary rules followed by the family or community. Paryushan traditions can vary from place to place, so the recipe may need to be adapted to the preferences of a particular household. Fulwadi can be eaten along with tea or as part of an Indian meal.
