Khandvi Rolls Recipe

Khandvi rolls are a traditional Gujarati snack prepared using besan (gram flour) and buttermilk, cooked and rolled into soft layers. They are a good source of plant-based protein and provide moderate energy without being heavy on the stomach. Besan supplies fiber, iron, and B-complex vitamins, supporting digestion and metabolism. The steaming method makes khandvi low in fat and easy to digest. Tempering with mustard seeds and sesame adds healthy fats and antioxidants. Khandvi rolls are ideal as a light snack or appetizer, suitable for weight management and heart-friendly diets.

What Ingredients do I Need for Khandvi Rolls?

  • 0.5 cup Chickpea Flour (Besan) - default
  • 1.25 cup water - default
  • 0.25 tsp Turmeric Powder - default
  • 1 tsp Green chili - default
  • 0.5 tsp Salt, Table, Iodized - default

Instructions: How to Make Khandvi Rolls

  • In a large bowl, mix sifted gram flour, turmeric powder, ginger-green chili paste, salt, lemon juice, coconut yogurt, and filtered water. Whisk well to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
  • Pour the batter into a non-stick pan and cook on medium-low heat, stirring continuously for 6–8 minutes until it thickens to a spreadable consistency. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon and not drip.
  • Quickly spread the hot batter thinly onto a clean countertop, back of a steel plate, or silicone mat using a spatula or offset knife. Work in batches if necessary.
  • Let the spread batter cool for 2–3 minutes. Cut into 2-inch wide strips using a knife or pizza cutter.
  • Gently roll each strip into tight spirals starting from one end, forming khandvi rolls.
  • For tempering: heat coconut oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter, then add sesame seeds and curry leaves. Sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Pour the tempering over the rolled khandvi.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander and freshly grated coconut before serving.

Variations and Substitutes

Use almond yogurt instead of coconut yogurt for a different flavor profile.

Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) in the tempering for added depth (ensure gluten-free source if needed).

For a milder taste, reduce or omit green chili from the ginger-chili paste.

Top with pomegranate seeds for a festive and colorful twist.

Make it oil-free by skipping the tempering and garnishing with dry roasted sesame seeds.



Khandvi Rolls Serving Suggestions

Serve Khandvi Rolls chilled or at room temperature as a snack or light appetizer. Pair with green coriander-mint chutney or sweet date-tamarind chutney and a cup of masala chai or lemon-infused herbal tea.


Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Do not freeze. Best consumed fresh. Reheat gently in a steamer if serving warm, or enjoy cold as-is.


Visual Presentation

Arrange the khandvi rolls neatly on a white or brightly colored platter. Drizzle the tempering evenly and sprinkle with coconut and coriander. For elegance, place a small edible flower or microgreens on the side and serve with dipping sauces in small ramekins.
