Khandvi

Khandvi is a delightful gluten-free Indian breakfast dish made from gram flour, known for its delicate roll-ups and savory flavor. It is often garnished with a tempering of mustard seeds and fresh coconut, making it a perfect start to your day.

Ingredients

• Gram flour (besan) - 100 grams
• Water - 300 ml
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Ginger paste - 1 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Curry leaves - 10 leaves
• Coconut (freshly grated) - 2 tablespoons
• Green chili - 1 finely chopped
• Oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, water, turmeric powder, salt, and ginger paste. Whisk well to form a smooth batter without lumps.
2. Transfer the batter to a non-stick pan and cook on medium heat, stirring continuously until it thickens and leaves the sides of the pan (about 8-10 minutes).
3. Once thickened, spread the mixture evenly onto a greased flat surface or parchment paper, about 1/4 inch thick, and let it cool for a few minutes.
4. Once cooled, cut the mixture into strips (about 2 inches wide) and roll them tightly to form the Khandvi rolls.
5. In a small pan, heat oil on low flame and add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Allow them to splutter.
6. Pour the tempering over the rolled Khandvi and garnish with freshly grated coconut and chopped green chili.
7. Serve the Khandvi warm with green chutney or yogurt.
