Khandvi Recipe

Khandvi is a delicate, savory Gujarati snack made from a smooth batter of gram flour and buttermilk, cooked until thick and spread into paper-thin layers. These layers are carefully rolled into small cylinders, offering a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture that is both light and satisfying. Traditionally tempered with mustard seeds and curry leaves, it provides a perfect balance of tangy and spicy flavors. As a steamed, fermented-dairy-based dish, it is naturally gluten-free and easy on the digestive system, making it an ideal healthy appetizer.

What Ingredients do I Need for Khandvi?

  • 1 cup Chickpea Flour (Besan) ( fresh ) - default
  • 4 piece Curd ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Turmeric ( fresh ) - default
  • 10 g Ground Nut ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tbsp Safflower Oil (Blended) ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tbsp Sesame seeds ( fresh ) - default

Instructions: How to Make Khandvi

  • Whisk the Batter:
    Combine the besan, buttermilk, turmeric, ginger-chilli paste, and salt in a bowl, whisking thoroughly to ensure there are absolutely no lumps.
  • Cook to Thicken:
    Pour the mixture into a heavy-bottomed non-stick pan and cook on low heat, stirring constantly for about 8–10 minutes until the paste is thick, glossy, and spreads easily.
  • Spread and Roll:
    While the batter is hot, spread it thinly over the back of greased steel plates; let it cool for 2–3 minutes, cut into 2-inch wide strips, and roll them up tightly.
  • Temper and Finish:
    Heat the oil, add mustard seeds, sesame seeds, hing, and curry leaves; pour this hot tempering over the rolls and garnish with coconut and coriander.
