Khandvi Recipe
Khandvi is a mouth watering traditional Gujarati snack. It is prepared with gram flour (besan), butter milk and is seasoned with grated coconut, mustard seeds and curry leaves. Some people also use sesame seeds for tempering.
It is very healthy snacks as it is prepared with steaming process. This recipe needs very less oil only for tempering. Cooking process of khandvi is also very easy. It just involves steaming of gramflour (besan) and butter milk and doesn’t require any complex cooking process. There is no use of spices; this makes the recipe very light and healthy.
Cooking of Khandvi requires few tricks. Preparation of smooth batter (yogurt and gram flour) is an important step and if you make it right, then your half of the problem is solved. The consistency of batter also should be correct. While cooking the batter it is important to make it in proper consistency. If you make it thick then spreading the khandvi mixture becomes difficult. So the batter should be thin and should be spread quickly to get a thin layer. It should always be taken care that batter should never be lumpy. Another important tip for khandvi making is always use fresh gram flour; old gram flour will break the rolls. To check the freshness of gram flour I use my Mom’s trick. Mix one table spoon of gram flour with 1 table spoon of water and if the mixture is sticky that means gram flour is fresh.
Once you are done with a nice Khandvi, finish it with tempering of cumin, mustard seeds and curry leaves. Sprinkle little fresh coriander and coconut, this makes khandvi irresistible.
