Ingredients
 

  • 1 cup chickpea flour/besan
  • 1 cup sour yogurt
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 teaspoon asafoetida/hing
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1 inch ginger (grated)
  • salt

for tampering

  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 2 green chilies (finely chopped)
  • 1-½ tablespoon oil
  • freshly chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Arrange some steel plates/glass chopping boards or cookie sheets to spread the batter. You can also spread the batter on the counter top. I used back side of a cookie sheet and two wooden chopping boards.
  • Brush the back of the cookie sheet and the wooden boards very lightly with some oil. Then, rub it using a kitchen paper towel to make sure it's not too oily.
  • Keeping the spreading utensils ready is very important as you have to spread the batter immediately while it's hot. Once the utensils are ready, start with the batter.
  • Add water and sour yogurt in a microwave proof bowl and mix it properly.
  • Then, add asafoetida, chili powder, turmeric powder, grated ginger and give it a mix.
  • Sift the chickpea flour to the bowl and whisk until it's mixed properly.
  • Add salt and mix it one last time to make sure that there are no lumps.
  • Put it in the microwave without the lid and let it cook for 4 minutes in high heat.
  • Take it out and whisk it properly. Put it back in the microwave for 3 more minutes.
  • Take it out and whisk it once again. At this point, the consistency should be thick enough.
  • Spread the thick batter quickly on the back of the cookie sheets or chopping boards. Spread it as thinly as you can.
  • Let it rest for 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Using a knife, cut 1 inch long strips and very gently roll the strips. Place each roll in the serving plate.
  • For tampering, heat oil in a small skillet and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and chopped green chilies.
  • In about few seconds, it will start to splatter and release the flavor.
  • Stop the heat and spread it evenly on the rolled Khandvi.
  • Garnish it with chopped cilantro and serve immediately.
