Khandvi recipe

on

Khandvi is a popular Gujarati snack made from gram flour (besan) and yogurt. It is a savory roll-up with a smooth and silky texture, flavored with tempered spices. Here's a recipe to make Khandvi:



Ingredients: For the batter:

  • 1 cup gram flour (besan)
  • 1 cup yogurt (plain curd)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
  • Salt to taste

For the tempering:

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green chilies, finely chopped
  • 8-10 curry leaves
  • A pinch of asafoetida (hing)

For garnishing:

  • Grated coconut
  • Chopped coriander leaves

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, yogurt, water, turmeric powder, ginger paste, and salt. Whisk well to make a smooth batter, ensuring there are no lumps.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour the batter into it.
  3. Cook the batter, stirring continuously, until it thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Turn off the heat and immediately pour a ladleful of the thickened batter onto a clean, greased surface like the backside of a plate or a greased countertop.
  5. Quickly spread the batter into a thin, even layer using a spatula. Allow it to cool for a few minutes.
  6. Cut the spread batter into thin strips using a sharp knife.
  7. Gently roll each strip tightly to form a roll-up or a pinwheel. Repeat the process with all the strips.
  8. Arrange the rolled Khandvi on a serving plate.

For tempering:

  1. Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat.
  2. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle.
  3. Add sesame seeds, green chilies, curry leaves, and asafoetida. Stir-fry for a few seconds.
  4. Pour the tempering mixture over the arranged Khandvi rolls.

Garnish:

  1. Sprinkle grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves over the Khandvi rolls.

Serve the Khandvi as a snack or appetizer. It can be enjoyed on its own or with chutney like coriander chutney or tamarind chutney. Khandvi is a delicate and tasty dish that requires some practice to perfect the technique of spreading and rolling the batter, but it's definitely worth the effort!
