Instructions
- Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup gram flour, 1 cup yogurt, 1 cup water, 1 tsp ginger paste, 1/2 tsp green chili paste, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and 1 tsp salt until smooth with no lumps.
- Step 2: Pour this batter into a non-stick pan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring continuously for about 10-12 minutes until the batter thickens to a spreadable consistency and loses its raw smell.
- Step 3: Immediately spread the cooked batter thinly and evenly over the back of a greased flat tray or plate using a spatula. Let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Step 4: Cut the spread batter into 1-inch wide strips and gently roll each strip into tight spirals.
- Step 5: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and allow them to crackle, then add 1 tbsp sesame seeds and toast until golden, about 1 minute.
- Step 6: Pour the tempered oil with seeds over the rolled khandvi. Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh grated coconut and 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves.
- Step 7: Serve these khandvi rolls as a light snack or appetizer, enjoying their soft, silky texture with the crunch of tempered seeds.
