Fresh Homemade khandvi

Preparation Time: 25 MIN   |    Total: 35 MIN    |    Serving:  4


Ingredients

  • 1 cup channa flour
  • 1 cup low-fat curd
  • 2 to 3 drops of lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp ginger-green chili paste
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
  • a pinch of asafoetida
  • salt to taste
  • 3 1/4 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp mustard seeds
  • 1/4 tsp asafetida
  • 5 to 6curry leaves
  • 1/2 tsp finely chopped green chilies
  • The Garnish
  • 2 tbsp freshly grated coconut
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped coriander

Steps

  • Mix the curds with 1 1/2 cups of water.
  • Combine the besan, curds-water mixture, lemon juice, ginger-green chili paste, turmeric powder, asafoetida and salt in a deep non-stick pan and mix well to make a smooth batter (taking care that no lump remains).
  •  Cook on a slow flame, while stirring continuously till it becomes thick (approx. 8 to 10 minutes).
  •  Grease a thali (approx. 10”) on the reverse side using ¼ tsp of oil and spread a spoonful of the batter on a greased thali and wait for a few seconds and try to roll up. If it doesn’t, then cook for a few more minutes, and check once more till done.
  •  Divide the batter into two equal portions. While the batter is still hot, spread each portion evenly using a spatula, on the reverse greased side of 2 thalis evenly to make a thin uniform layer using a spatula (refer step 1).
  •  When cool, cut the khandvi on each thali lengthwise (approx. 1½” in width) into equal portions (as shown in the image) and roll up each gently (refer to step 2 and 3).
  •  For the tempering, just before serving heat the remaining 3 tsp oil in a small non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds.
  •  When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida, curry leaves and green chilies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
  •  Pour the tempering over the khandvis.
  •  Serve immediately garnished with coconut and coriander.
