Let’s talk about the ingredients for Khandvi recipe

Gram flour (besan): Regular gram flour is used to make khandvi. It is important to sift the gram flour before using it for the Khandvi recipe. However, it is a good practice to sift it for any recipe. Finer gram flour makes better khandvi. Do not use the thick besan to make khandvi.

Yogurt: Dahi is used to make the batter for khandvi. I have used regular yogurt. You can also use slightly sour yogurt, that flavor will be transferred in the khandvi too.

Water: Khandvi recipe is all about the correct proportion of gram flour, yogurt, and water.

Tempering: Mustard seeds (raie) and sesame seeds are used to temper khandvi. You can also add in curry leaves, green chilies, etc.

Garnish: There are a number of ways to garnish khandvi. I love to add pomegranate seeds, coriander, grated fresh coconut, etc. to garnish the khandvi.
