Khandvi is a savory snack from the Indian state of Gujarat, India. It is made mainly of gram flour and yoghurt which is slowly cooked into a paste. The mixture is then spread out to cool, cut, and rolled into scroll shapes. The delicious mild taste and soft texture is the reason why it is a popular snack amongst many adults, and kids. It is available readily all across India as it has become a very popular item. It is commonly known for being part of the appetizer as it is a great dish for starters. Many people choose to buy it from a local sweet shop rather than preparing it at home because it may seem difficult for some people. Making Khandvi at home is not hard at all – in fact, it is very straight forward and simple.

Preparation

Khandvi is very easy to make because it does not involve any advanced cooking techniques. It is prepared from gram flour and yogurt. They are mixed together with ginger paste, salt, a little water, and turmeric. It is also optional to add green chillies for a more spicy taste. This paste should take 10 minutes to make. After, once the batter is smooth, making a Khandvi the right shape is a bit hard. While the batter is hot, the next step is to spread the mixture evenly on a flat surface. An important thing to remember is to keep the spread very thin so the Khandvi has the right shape. Once that is completed, the next task is to roll out the Khandvis and make rolls out of it. The Khandvis will end up being one inch in length which is ideal. All in all, Khandvi is small in size so it can be eaten in one bite. It can also be seasoned with several spices to satisfy one’s taste buds. Additionally, Khandvi is also a very health snack. The gram flour that is present as an ingredient in this recipe is very nutritious because it has several health benefits. It prevents heart diseases in the future, helps lose weight, and it also fights allergies and diabetes.

This popular snack item from Gujarat, India is simply irresistible because of its simple yet unique seasoning of coriander, sesame seeds, cumin, mustard, and coconut.
