Ingredients

Gram Flour (Besan): 1 cup

Yoghurt: 1 cup

Water: 2 cup

Salt: 1/2 tsp

Turmeric: 1/2 tsp

For Tempering:

Mustard seeds: 1 tsp

Asafoetida: 1/4 tsp

Curry leaves: few

Green chilli: 1/2 tsp (add more for extra spiciness)

For Garnish:

Grated coconut: 2 tbsp

Coriander: 2 tbsp

Method

Combine the besan, curds-water mixture, turmeric powder and salt in a deep microwave safe bowl (taking care that no lump remains).

Cook in microwave, (microwave temperatures vary) I cooked in 1000watt microwave high for  10-12 minutes while stirring in-between. After 10 minutes take a small spoonful of mixture and spread a thin layer over a ceramic plate and wait a minute then try roll up. If it doesn’t, then cook for a few more minutes, and check once more till done.

It should be a smooth thick paste consistency.

Now take a clean plate and place a big spoon of mixture in the middle and spread it out

evenly to make a thin uniform layer (like a dosa or pancake).

When cool, cut the khandvi on each plate lengthwise (approx. 1½” in width) into equal portions and roll up each gently.

For the tempering, just before serving heat oil in a small non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds.

When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida, curry leaves and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.

Pour the tempering over the khandvis.

Serve immediately garnished with coconut and coriander.

 Tip- you can give your Khandvi a different flavour by adding 1tsp of ginger garlic paste and 1 crushed green chilli to your batter.
