India celebrates Diwali with great enthusiasm as it celebrates light and joy. During this celebration, individuals buy new outfits, make rangolis, light firecrackers, and light diyas, and prepare a variety of delicacies and sweets at home.
Deep fried snacks are very popular, especially during this time. Food is cooked using deep frying, immersing in heated fat like cooking oil. Typically, a deep fryer or chip pan is used for this; however, an industrial pressure fryer or vacuum fryer may also be employed. Deep frying is a dry cooking technique since no water is required. The food is then prepared rapidly because of the high temperature and oil's high heat conduction.Follow this list to indulge in deep-fried snacks, making sure you don't miss anything.
