Khandvi

A popular Gujarathi snack item, I was tempted to try for the rolling part! More interested in stuffed Khandvis, but dint have time that day to try that. Here is the simple recipe:

* One cup besan, one cup curd, one cup water - beat all well in a vessel
* Add ground ginger, g.chillie paste and salt to the above and mix well into a smooth, watery batter.
* Add more water to make it kind of watery
* Then pour it into a non-stick pan and start to cook.
* Keep stirring so as to avoid lumps.
* Cook well, till it forms a smooth cooked batter...try a small portion on a plate, apply like thin coat and let it cool for few mins, then try to roll, if it doesnt stick to the plate, then the batter/dough is ready!
* Place few plates or aluminum sheet and start to make thin layer of this batter...by just spreading with a flat spoon.
* Let it cool for 5mins and then cut into 1 or 2" width strips and start to roll like the above.
* And season it using mustard, asafoetida and coconut.
* You could try stuffed khandvi with green chutney or any other stuffing of your choice.
