Ingredients

• 1 cup gram flour (besan)
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 1 cup water
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 0.25 teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
• 10 leaves curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons freshly grated coconut
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gram flour, coconut milk, water, lemon juice, ginger paste, turmeric powder, salt, and sugar. Whisk well to form a smooth, lump-free batter.

Step 2

Transfer the batter to a non-stick pan and cook over medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Cook until the mixture thickens and begins to leave the sides of the pan. This process may take about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

To test if the mixture is ready, spread a small portion onto a greased plate. If it rolls up easily without sticking, the batter is done.

Step 5

Grease the back of a few large plates or a clean countertop with coconut oil. Spread the cooked batter evenly and thinly using a spatula.

Step 6

Allow the spread batter to cool for a few minutes, then cut into 2-inch wide strips using a knife.

Step 7

Gently roll each strip into a tight spiral and arrange on a serving platter.

Step 8

Heat coconut oil in a small pan for tempering. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 9

Add asafoetida and curry leaves, sauté for a few seconds until aromatic, and pour this tempering over the rolled khandvi.

Step 10

Garnish with freshly grated coconut and chopped cilantro before serving.
