What is Kadboli?
Kadboli is a special kind of crispy snack. It's shaped like a spiral or a coil, which makes it fun to eat! People in the Konkan region of India have been making this snack for a very long time.
Ingredients and How It's Made
Kadboli is usually made from a mix of different flours. These often include chickpea flour, urad flour, moong flour, and rice flour. To give it flavour, people add things like salt, chili, ajwain (which are carom seeds), or cumin seeds. All these ingredients are mixed into a dough. Then, the dough is carefully shaped into those cool spiral patterns. Finally, these spirals are deep-fried until they become golden brown and super crispy!
Kadboli's Cousin: Kodubale
In Karnataka, there's a snack that's very similar to Kadboli, but it has a different name: kodubale. The main difference is in the flours used. While Kadboli uses a mix of several flours, kodubale is usually made only with rice flour and a special kind of roasted chickpea flour called dalia. Even with this small difference, both snacks are delicious and crunchy!
Storing and Enjoying Kadboli
Kadboli is a great snack because it stays fresh for several weeks if you store it properly. Just keep it in an airtight container, and you can enjoy it whenever you want! It's a popular snack in states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.
