Course Appetizer
Cuisine Gujrat

Ingredients
  

  • For Khandvi:
  • Besan-1 cup
  • Sour Curd-1/2 cup
  • Water-1 1/2 cups
  • Sugar-1 tsp
  • Salt-to taste
  • Turmeric Powder-1/2 tsp
  •  
  • For Tempering:
  • Oil-1 tbs
  • Sesame Seeds-1 tsp
  • Mustard Seeds-1 tsp
  • Asafoetida-1/4 tsp
  • Curry Leaves-a sprig
  • Green Chilly-1 Finely Chopped
  •  
  • For Garnish:
  • Grated Coconut-2-3 tbs
  • Coriander Leaves-2-3 tbs

Instructions
 

  • Mix besan, salt, sugar, curd, turmeric powder and water to make a thin lump free batter.
  • Pass it through a sieve to a heavy bottomed pan or a non stick pan.
  • Heat the mixture.
  • It may seem to be lumpy at first but once it starts cooking the mixture will become smooth. Keep on stirring.
  • Take a teaspoon of the mixture and spread it on a plate. Try rolling it. If you can roll it, then the mixture is of correct consistency. If not it need to be cooked a little more.
  • Have plates ready. When the mixture has reached the consistency, take a little on the backside of a pplate and spread it with a spatula to a thin film. This has to be done very fast. Finish off all the dough. You can also spread it on marble counter. I used nearly 7 plates for 1 cup of besan.
  • After 5 minutes, cut the applied mixture into 1" wide strips.
  • Roll each strip into a tight roll. Place the rolls on a plate.
  • Heat oil and add the tempering ingredients. When they crackle, pour it evenly on the prepared rolls.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves and coconut.
  • Serve and enjoy..
