Directions:To make the khandvi:
Blend all the ingredients for the khandvi rolls together to make a smooth paste. I used a stick blender but you can also use a blender jar or whisk everything until there are no lumps.
Place one large sheet of aluminium foil on a heat-resistant surface (about 1M long) and grease with oil VERY lightly.
Pour the batter mixture into a non-stick pan and cook it over a low flame for 10-12 minutes, until it's the consistency of thick, smooth peanut butter. Keep stirring constantly to stop it from settling at the bottom and creating unwanted lumps. I find the best tool for this is either a silicone whisk or silicone spatula. Towards the end of cooking you will need to beat the mixture vigorously to maintain a smooth texture.
Working very quickly, spread the cooked batter on top of the first sheet of foil. Spread it thinly and evenly using a silicone spatula. Place a piece of cling film on top. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough evenly between the cling film and foil. It should be 1-2mm thick. Allow it to set for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the cling film. Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife, trim away any scrappy, uneven edges (those are for you to enjoy). Slice the Khandvi into long strips, all about the same width (3-4cm in width and 12cm in length is ideal). Use your fingers to roll them up tightly. Repeat for all the Khandvi sheets and arrange on to a platter or plate.
For the tempering:
Heat the oil in a small pan. Add the mustard seeds and allow them to crackle. Next, add the curry leaves and sizzle for 10 seconds. Pour this over the rolled Khandvi. Garnish with chopped coriander and grated coconut.
Serve the Khandvi at room temperature.
Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days |
