KHANDVI

Khandvi is a very light and delicate Gujrati snack. I am a Punjabi, I tried many times to make it perfectly.Soif you are making it for the first time be patient if it doesn't come out well in first trial. Keep on trying and you will definitely be able to make it.

Method:

7. Immediately pour a portion approximately 1/2 cup of mixture on the greased Thali and spread the mixture in a circular motion into a thin layer with the help of a spatula or scraper.
8. Repeat the same process on the remaining thalis.
9. Sprinkle grated coconut and chopped coriander leaves on all the thalis sparingly.
10. Cut into equal sized strips and roll each strip gently.
11. Arrange the pieces in a serving plate of bowl of your choice.Handle the rolls carefully as they are very delicate.
12. Heat oil in a tadka pan and add asafotida powder , mustard seeds and curry leaves and as they crackle pour the tempering over the prepared khandvis.
13. You can garnish the kandvi with some grated coconut, chopped coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds.
