Khandvi

Today i am going to take you to journey of making Khandvi in Gujarat and Surali Chya Vadya in Marathi is a famous Western India dish. It is made from chickpea flour, sour buttermilk, spices and is similar to savory swiss roll. The mixture is then cooked slowly, spread out thinly on sheet and cut, rolled into scroll shaped. It is said to be difficult to make khandvi and many of you would have only relished in Savoury and sweets shops.

Khandvi was my mum's signature dish. Whenever we used to host dinner or lunch khandvi has to be star dish as in our circle she was the only one who used to make yummy and mouth melting khandvis. She used to say the secret of making best khandvi lies in three factors, proportion of flour and liquid, no lumps and slowly cooked and last timing. This post is tribute to my mum as whenever i make khandvi it feel as if she is with me and supervises and have never failed to make it.
