Ingredients

• 1 cup Gram flour (besan)
• 1 cup Low-fat yogurt
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Sesame seeds
• 1 pinch Asafoetida (hing)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh grated coconut
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 1 Green chili, finely chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gram flour, low-fat yogurt, water, turmeric powder, ginger paste, and salt until smooth and lump-free.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a non-stick saucepan and heat on a medium flame.

Step 3

Constantly stir the mixture using a whisk or spatula, ensuring there are no lumps, until it thickens into a smooth, thick batter. This should take about 10-12 minutes.

Step 4

To check if the mixture is ready, spread a small portion on a flat surface; if it rolls up without sticking, it is cooked.

Step 5

Quickly spread portions of the cooked mixture on the back of clean, flat metal plates or a greased surface using a spatula; spread evenly to get a thin layer.

Step 6

Allow it to cool slightly, then cut into long strips and carefully roll them.

Step 7

In a small frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon of oil and add mustard seeds, sesame seeds, asafoetida, and green chili. Let the mustard seeds splutter.

Step 8

Pour the hot tempering over the khandvi rolls.

Step 9

Garnish the rolled khandvi with fresh grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves.

Step 10

Carefully transfer to a serving plate and serve warm or at room temperature.
