Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml) chickpea flour (besan)
- 1 cup (240 ml) sour yogurt
- 2 cups (480 ml) water
- 1 tsp asafoetida (hing)
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 inch ginger, grated
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tbsp (30 ml) oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tbsp 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.
