Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 cup sour yogurt
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
- Fresh coriander leaves, chopped for garnish
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, sour yogurt, water, asafoetida, chili powder, turmeric powder, grated ginger, and salt. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.
- Transfer the mixture to a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency.
- Quickly spread the thickened batter onto the back of a cookie sheet or a clean countertop using a spatula, aiming for a very thin, even layer.
- Allow the spread batter to cool slightly, then carefully cut into strips about 2 inches wide.
- Gently roll each strip into a tight roll. Be patient and handle with care to prevent breaking.
- In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds. Once they start to crackle, add sesame seeds and chopped green chilies. Sauté for a few seconds.
- Pour the tempering over the khandvi rolls and garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
Notes
Khandvi requires patience, especially during the rolling process. Ensure the batter is spread thinly and evenly to facilitate easy rolling. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving. Adjust the spice level by varying the amount of green chilies.
