Ingredients

• 1 cup Besan (gram flour)
• 1 cup Plain yogurt (preferably low fat)
• 1.5 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Ginger paste
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute or low sodium salt
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 2 teaspoons Sesame seeds
• 1 tablespoon Green chilies, finely chopped
• 10 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Oil

Directions

Step 1

In a bowl, combine the besan, yogurt, water, turmeric powder, ginger paste, and salt substitute. Whisk until smooth and lump-free.

Step 2

Transfer the mixture to a non-stick pan. Cook on medium heat, stirring continuously to prevent lumps.

Step 3

Cook until the mixture thickens and leaves the sides of the pan. This could take around 10-15 minutes.

Step 4

Spread a large, clean aluminum foil or back of greased plates. Quickly spread the cooked batter evenly into a thin layer using a spatula.

Step 5

Allow it to cool slightly. Once cooled, cut the spread batter into 2-inch wide strips.

Step 6

Carefully roll each strip into tightly packed rolls.

Step 7

For tempering, heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.

Step 8

Add sesame seeds, chopped green chilies, and curry leaves. Fry for a few seconds until fragrant.

Step 9

Pour the tempering over the khandvi rolls.

Step 10

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Step 11

Serve the low sodium khandvi warm or at room temperature as a delightful snack.
