Khandvi

Khandvi is Gujarati delicacy made using Gram Flour/Chickpea Powder and flavoured with tempering of pungent mustard, spicy green chillies, sweet coconut grates and aromatic coriander leaves.One of the favorite snack in my family. I learnt to make Khandvi, also called surali chya vadya in Marathi, from my neighbour, a popular Gujarati snack which is quick, easy, and also low-fat. The best part was to cut them into thin stripes and roll them without much fuss!! Whenever I make Khandvi..Yes, I did it and I feel like I am on top of the world . Here I proudly present fluffy, soft, melt in mouth and delicious Khandvi.
