    Khandvi recipe - a popular snack from gujarat. It is made from besan and sour yogurt.

    Khandvi stacked in a plate garnished with cilantro.

    The texture is really soft, silky and melt in your mouth. It has hint of sour taste which comes from sour yogurt. If your yogurt is not sour then add lemon juice.

    Making this to the perfection is little tricky but not hard at all. I have mentioned possible tips and suggestions in the method below. So read it carefully before making. I am sure you will have a success.

    If making this a Jain dish, please skip the ginger.

    Step By Step Photo Instructions:

    1) Grease aluminum foil or back side of any large thali (plate) with oil and keep it aside.

    2) Sift the besan in a bowl.

    5) Mix it using wire whisk and make thick paste.

    6) Now by adding little water at a time, make lump free batter.

    7) I have used wire whisk to make the batter. But you can use immersion hand blender and make smooth batter easily.

    8) Now pour this batter to a HEAVY BOTTOM PAN and turn the heat to LOW.

    9) Keep stirring continuously with spatula so batter does not stick to the bottom and it won’t form any lumps. Cook it till it gets thick, it might take approximately 5-6 minutes. Cooking time may vary, it depends on the gas heat, depends on quantity you are making, depends on the thick or thin bottom pan you are using. The perfectly cooked batter has to be thick not falling consistency. You will get to know by experience.

    NOTE: To check the right consistency, take small amount of batter (about a teaspoon) and spread over the thali, let it cool for a minute and try to peel and roll. If you can do this without having any stickiness meaning it is ready. If it is still sticky then continue cooking for little longer and then check again.

    10) Now be quick. Spread the batter on prepared foil or plate with back of spatula.

    11) Make thin layer as possible as you can. If you spread it thick then it will hard to roll, your roll might get break.

    12) As batter cools it will be hard to spread evenly. You can see I was busy with taking photo of the spreaded batter on foil (above) and meantime remaining batter cooled down and it gave me hard time to spread on this thali. You can compare below and above photo and you will know that it is very crucial that you work as quickly as possible.

    Suggestions from readers:

    • Shawn mentioned in the comment that cut it using pizza cutter, it will make clear lines without pulling.
    • One of the reader Jayshree Dave shares her awesome tips for spreading the batter. She made a big batch khandvi and spread the khandvi batter on big plastic bag instead of spreading on many thalis. This may help you as well, so thought of sharing the photos she sent me in the email.
