Khandvi Gujarathi snack Recipe

                                                      Khandvi is a gujarathi snack.The ingredients are similar to Khaman dhokla.I have not eaten as much khandvi as dhokla. Dhokla is a little more healthy and simpler to make.You make khandvi by mixing gram flour with buttermilk,salt and turmeric powder and cooked to a paste and spread on a flat surface and cut into strips and rolled in to pinwheels.It is interesting and tricky to make this one.The paste should be in correct consistency otherwise it will not spread and if it is too watery it will not roll.

You will Need

• One cup Gram flour
• One and half cups Buttermilk
• 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
• A pinch of Asafoetida
• Salt to taste
• Oil to apply
• One tbs of Scraped Coconut

To Temper

• One tsp Oil
