Instructions
Prepare the Garlic
Take the peeled garlic cloves and gently crush each one using a pestle or the flat side of a knife. You just want to slightly break them open, not mash them. This crucial step prevents the cloves from bursting in the hot oil.
Fry the Garlic
Heat oil in a deep pan or kadhai over a low to medium flame. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the crushed garlic cloves.
Cook to Golden Brown
Fry the garlic for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they turn a light golden brown. Be careful not to overcook or burn them, as they will become bitter.
Drain Excess Oil
Once golden and crispy, remove the garlic from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on absorbent paper to drain any excess oil.
Season
In a bowl, combine the red chili powder, turmeric powder, chaat masala, asafoetida, and salt. While the fried garlic is still warm, toss it in the spice mixture until all the cloves are evenly coated.
Serve
Serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy this zesty snack on its own or as a crunchy side dish.
