What does Khandvi mean?
Well, I know most of you guys don’t know what khandvi actually means. Khandvi is a type of snack that originated in India.
It is basically made from besan flour, sour cardamom seeds, coconut, and spices.
Khandvi cuisine is one of the most popular Indian street foods all over the world.
In fact, khandvi is so popular that even restaurants have started serving it as an appetizer or as part of their main course.
Plus, khandvis are healthy as they are low in fat and high in fiber. They are great for snacks or as part of a meal.

Is Khandvi an appetizer?
Before I start my guide on how to cook khandvi, you should know that khandvi is not just an appetizer.
Khandvi can also be served as part of the main course, as I mentioned earlier.
However, if you want to serve khandvi as an appetizer, then it is best to make small snacks instead of large ones.
This way, your guests will get the most out of each bite they take. Plus, it will be easier for them to move around and enjoy the dish at their own pace.

Instructions for Khandvi Recipe
1
Soak besan flour in water for at least 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.
2
This will help the batter stick to the khandvi sticks better.
3
In a bowl, mix together besan flour, sour curd, ginger, and chili paste well.
4
Add coconut powder, coriander leaves (chopped), turmeric powder, and asafetida seeds.
5
Mix everything together well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into the batter. (If you find some lumps in the batter, just smooth it out with your hands)
6
Add buttermilk to the batter and mix everything together until a smooth consistency is achieved.
7
Don’t overmix the batter, though, as you want it to be lump-free.
8
As we will make khandvi rolls, first heat a tablespoon of oil in a Kadai or frying pan over medium-high heat.
9
Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them crackle for about 30 seconds.
10
Add curry leaves and ginger to the khandvi batter recipe and mix everything together until smooth.
11
Stir the batter mixture into the Kadai or frying pan, making sure to spread it evenly.
12
Now roll khandvi sticks using a roller (or your hands) until they are big enough to fit comfortably in your palm.
13
Place khandvi rolls on a plate.
14
Now, we will prepare the khandvi tempering.
15
Fry mustard seeds, green chilies, and cardamom pods in oil until the spices start to crackle.
16
Pour the tempering over the khandvi rolls and enjoy.

Pro Tips to make the Khandvi Recipe tastier:
1) If you would like khandvi rolls that are a little bit spicier, feel free to add more green chillies and cardamom pods to the batter recipe.
2) Another way to make khandvi rolls even spicier is by adding curry leaves (dried) and fresh ginger (chopped).
3) Alternatively, if you don’t want as spicy of a khandvi roll, then just omit the chilli paste altogether.
4) While rolling khandvi sticks, make sure to use a light touch, as too much pressure may cause them to crack.
