PREPARATION:


  • Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gram flour, yogurt, water, turmeric, salt, asafoetida, ginger paste, and green chili paste until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.

  • Cook the Mixture: Transfer the mixture to a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously, until the mixture thickens and becomes glossy, which should take about 10-15 minutes.

  • Prepare the Plates: While the mixture is still hot, quickly spread it over the back of greased steel plates or a smooth countertop with a flat spatula. Spread it as thin as possible.

  • Cool and Cut: Allow the spread mixture to cool for a few minutes. Once cool, cut it into strips (about 2 inches wide).

  • Roll the Strips: Carefully roll each strip from one end to the other. The rolls should be tight and even. Place the rolls on a serving dish.

  • Prepare the Tempering: Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds, and once they start to pop, add sesame seeds, green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.

  • Garnish and Serve: Pour the tempering over the khandvi rolls. Sprinkle grated coconut and chopped coriander on top. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Khandvi is best enjoyed fresh and can be a great addition to your snack menu, especially during gatherings. It’s light, flavorful, and visually appealing with its bright yellow color and delicate swirls
