A yummy Gujarati dish. Traditional and very simple to make. This one here is Khandvi but with my little twist to it. Makes good evening snack or a light morning breakfast.
Ingredients
vegetarian
2 servings
- 1/2 cup Bengal Gram Flour (Besan)
- 1 cup Buttermilk (Yogurt diluted with water)
- 2 Green Chillies
- small piece of Ginger
- 1 tbsp chopped Corriander
- pinch of Tumeric Powder
- pinch of Asafoetida(Hing)
- 3 tsp oil
- 1/4 tsp Cumin Powder(Jeera)
- 1/4 tsp Mustard seeds(Aurr)
- 4-5 Curry Leaves
- 2 tsp grated fresh Coconut
- salt to taste
Directions
- Grind to a paste 1 green chilli, ginger, coriander.
- Mix this paste into the buttermilk. Add salt, asafoetida, turmeric powder.
- In a bowl, put the gram flour and pour the buttermilk slowly while stirring to avoid lumps. Break any lumps if formed till this mixture is completely liquefied.
- In a small pot, heat 1 tsp oil. Pour this mixture into the pot stirring continuously.Keep stirring as the mixture thickens else it will form lumps.As the mixture starts to leave its sides, using a tsp, apply the mixture thinly on a dry plate. Once it cools down, it should come off the plate smoothly.
- This is the right consistency.
- Take the mixture off the fire.On dry plates, spread the mixture evenly.
- Use a flat bottomed ladle or a spatula to be able to spread the mixture evenly and thinly.It is easier if done in a circular motion like when spreading dosa batter on a tawa, starting from the inside and moving outwards.
- Allow to cool completely.
- Cut into 1 inch strips using a knife. Roll the strips like a scroll.Continue similarly for all the plates of spread out mixture.
- Heat the remaining oil. Add the cumin powder, mustard seeds, green chilli slit lengthwise, curry leaves and a pinch of asafoetida. Alternatively, seseme seeds and/or dry red chillies can also be added.
- Once the mustard seeds splutter, pour this seasoning over the Khandvi rolls. Garnish with grated fresh coconut.
