Ingredients Of Khandvi

  • 1/2 cup (60 gm) besan (Chick-pea flour)
  • 1/2 cup (60 gm) khatta dahi (sour yogurt)
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 ml) cup water
  • 1/2 tsp ginger paste
  • 1/2 tsp green chilli paste
  • 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/8 tsp heeng (asofoetida)
  • 1/8 tsp haldi (turmeric)
  • For tempering:
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp sarson (mustard seeds)
  • 2 sabut lal mirch (dried whole red pepper)
  • 4-5 kadhi patta (curry leaves)
  • 1 Tbsp hara dhania (coriander leaves) chopped fine
  • 1/4 cup grated coconut

How to Make Khandvi

1.Place flour in a deep, heavy based pan (the pan should be large, as there is a lot of spurting while cooking).
2.Add ginger-chilli paste, chilli powder, salt, heeng and haldi, and mix. Now add the yogurt, a little at a time, so as to form a smooth paste, without any lumps, and then the water.
3.Place the pan over high heat, and bring to a boil, stirring all the time (to avoid scorching).
4.Keep cooking and stirring till you reach a paste like consistency, increasing or decreasing the heat according to your ability to avoid scorching.
5.It is cooked enough, when you separate a portion of it from the rest with a stirrer and you can see the bottom of the pan, which gets covered gradually (if it gets covered immediately, it is too thin). Another test is to spread a tsp of the batter on to an ungreased surface, when cool, it should come off clean.
6.With the help of a rubber spatula spread the mixture onto an ungreased surface, in as thin a layer as possible and leave to cool.
7.Heat the oil in a small pan and add the sarson, kadhi patta and sabut lal mirch. Stir a few times and then spread over the layer. Sprinkle all but 1 tbsp of the coriander and 1tbsp of the coconut over it, and pick up the lal mirch and keep aside.
8.Cut this layer into strips roll up each strip like a scroll, as firmly as you can, without breaking them.
9.Arrange them on to a serving dish. Garnish with the rest of the coriander, coconut and peppers and serve.
