Khandvi Recipe (Gujarat's Special).

Dear Friends,
I would also like to share my one of the favorite traditional Gujarati recipe "Khandvi".
without which any "Gujarati Daawat" is incomplete! & Believe it that its very simple & easy to make once you have practiced making it more than a time.


Ingredients:
Besan 100gm
Curd 50gm
Water as required to form a batter.
Salt to taste.


For tempering:
1tsp mustard seeds
2 green chillies finely chopped
Pinch of asafoetida (Hing)
Grated Coconut (optional)
Coriander leaves for garnishing.


Method:

  • In a bowl mix well Besan, curd, Salt & Water.(Batter not too thick or thin but creamy).
  • Pour the batter in vessel & keep stirring on low flame till besan cooks well & batter starts thickening. (Test it by spreading the pinch of batter on a flat surface if gets rolled well that means its done but if it sticks to the surface that means it needs to be cooked on the flame for some more time).
  • When the mixture is cooked well then immediately without letting it cool down spread the batter across the marble platform of the kitchen.
  • Spread it evenly into a very thin layer.
  • Now with the pizza cutter or knife start cutting into long stripes.
  • After finishing cutting start rolling the stripes in the proper khandvi roll type & place them on the plate.
  • On other hand start preparations for tempering, by heating the oil in a vessel & add mustard seeds & let them splutter & add asafoetida & green chillies.
  • Finally spread with the help of spoon the oil on every khandvi to ensure spices adds to every piece.
  • Garnish with coriander leaves & grated coconut.
Enjoy your khandvi either in a breakfast or as evening supper or as an delight to your Daawat :-)
