Khandvi

Besan or chickpea flour is transformed into an amazing snack in just a few minutes!

• Ingredients:

• 1 cup chickpea flour
• 1 pinch asafetida
• 1½ tsp salt
• 1 cup plain yogurt
• 1¼ cups water
• 1 tbsp Vegetable Oil
• 1 tsp mustard seeds
• 1 tsp green chilies, chopped

• 1 tbsp cilantro, chopped

• Method:

• 1 Whisk together first five ingredients in a sauce pan. Make sure no lumps are formed.
• 2 Slowly cook the batter on medium-high for 8-10 minutes, whisking continuously. Cook until batter thickens to a paste and leaves sides of the pan.

• 4 Use the back of a spatula to immediately spread paste on back of 9x11” (23x28 cm) baking sheets in thin uniform layer. Let cool for 5-8 minutes.
• 5 Cut khandvi lengthwise into 4 strips about 2” (5.1 cm) wide. Lift one end. Roll up individually. Place on a serving dish.
• 6 Heat oil in a tadka/tempering pan on medium high heat. Add mustard seeds. As they sputter, add chilies.
• 7 Turn off heat. Pour evenly over khandvi. Garnish with grated coconut and cilantro. Serve as an appetizer.
