Have taken a break this weekend from blogging, to spend full time with my family.Then morning i thought what to post for SWC:Gujrat??, then searched internet, and found this, Khandavi...
Actually earlier also, i tried making khandvi , but that time i didn't had the proper recipe(i think), and it didn't came out well, so with a lot of courage i tried again...:) , and this time .....all went well, and actually its really very easy to make . Yummy snack in just a few minutes...

Ingredients:

Gram Flour/Besan 1 Cup
Buttermilk 2.5 Cups
Turmeric Powder 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice 2 tbsp(optional)
Salt to Taste

For Filling:
Fresh or Thawed Grated Coconut 1/2 Cup
Finely Chopped Cilantro(coriander) 2 tbsp
Grated Ginger 1 tsp
Green Chillies chopped finely 2
Salt to Taste

Seasoning:
Oil 1 tbsp
Mustard Seeds 2 tsp
Sesame seeds 1 tsp.
Asafoetida a pinch
Green chillies(optional)

Method:

Mix Gramflour,buttermilk, turmeric powder,lemon juice, salt and make a smooth paste.
In a bowl, mix coconut, coriander leaves,ginger, green chillies & salt,keep aside.
Grease 3-4 plates and keep it ready
Now in a heavy non stick pan, add batter.
Cook in a medium heat till the mixture does not taste raw, stirring continuously and evenly to avoid lump formation,(consistency of batter should get thick)
When done (about 7-8 minutes), pour a ladleful in a large plate.
Spread as thin as possible(about 1 mm thick) with the back of a large flat spoon.
Use circular outward movements as for dosas. Let it cool for 5 10 minutes.
When cooled, sprinkle the coconut filling evenly on it.
Then with a knief cut into 1" wide strips.



Carefully roll each strip, repeat for all plates.
Place in a serving dish.
Sprinkle coconut and coriander all over khandvi rolls.
Heat oil in a small pan.
Add musturd, asafoetida, and chillies.
At last at sesame seeds and immediately pour over rolls.

Serve as it is or with garlic chutney.

Tips:
As mixture cools fast, make khandvi in small quantity at a time.
If you don't want to stir continuously you can cook besan mixture in microwave too.
