Charguli

Charguli (also sometimes spelled "Chargulli") is a type of deep-fried, crispy snack popular in India, particularly in the state of Maharashtra. It is made from wheat flour or semolina (rava), spices, and sometimes sesame seeds. The dough is rolled out thinly, cut into small, irregular shapes, and then deep-fried until golden brown and crispy.

Charguli is often eaten as a tea-time snack and is considered a savory treat. Variations exist depending on regional preferences and family recipes, with differences in spice blends and flour combinations. It can be stored in airtight containers for several days, maintaining its crispness. While commercially produced versions are available, it is frequently made at home, especially during festive occasions.
