Yesterday we spoke about Gujrati Dhoklas , today I will tell you about another Gujrati farsaan called Khandvi. This is a very light snack and is made with gram flour and curd.
The batter is made and then seasoned . It is then cooked , till it gets thick and turns into a mass. This is then spread on a kitchen counter or inverted steel thalis. Strips are cut , rolled and finally tempered .
Making Khandvi is actually not easy , it is quite tricky . I guess I have made it just three four times ever since I got married . We get excellent Khandvi in the market so I have never been very keen on making . At the same time I wanted to document this recipe so decided to make it.
This is my Day 3 post for Special Theme.
