Gujarati Khandvi Recipe (Patudi Recipe) with step by step pictures. A traditional Gujarati snack dish recipe made from gram flour (besan).

I am sharing a delicious snack dish recipe known as Khandvi today. Khandvi is made from besan (gram flour) cooked with some curd and seasoning. The soft and silky texture might scare you at first. But trust me, making khandvi at home is possible and with a little practice it is easy. You can make perfect khandvi at home once you master the consistency of the batter.

Khandvi recipe is no garlic no onion recipe and hence also a Jain recipe. We need very few ingredients to make this delicious treat. It’s quite probable that you already have all the ingredients to make khandvi at home. The trick to make perfect khandvi is in batter. I will share some tips with you all so that you can get perfect batch of khandvi batter in very first try.

What may go wrong while making Khandvi

• Consistency of Khandvi’s batter is the most important aspect. Make sure its properly cooked and its not too thick. Otherwise the batter will not spread properly on plate/thaali.
• Once the batter is cooked, spread it on thaali as soon as possible. If the batter cools down during spreading, you won’t be able to spread it properly.

Also to cook the Khandvi in microwave you can follow these simple steps:

• Mix gram flour and yogurt in a bowl. Place the bowl in a microwave and cook at high speed for 5 mins.
• Remove and whisk the mixture until smooth.
• Place it in microwave again and cook for about 4 minutes this time.
• Remove and whisk well.
• Repeat this in interval of 2 – 2 minutes (whisk again) and then about a minute. Each time you will notice that the batter will get thick and difficult to whisk. This only says that it is getting cooked. The cooking time will vary. So you will need to check every time you bring it out of the microwave.
• The batter once done/cooked will be thicker than it was initially, but should still be in a consistency where it can be spread evenly and in a thin layer.
• The raw smell of the flour should have gone by the time it is done cooking. When the batter is ready, you will notice that it pulls away from the wall of the bowl and no longer sticks to the side.

How to find if the batter is ready: Take one teaspoon of batter and put it on a greased thaali, spread it over the thaali, make it as thin as possible. Now roll over the spread batter, if you are able to do it then it’s ready else, cook it for another minute.

Tips to make good khandvi

• Do not apply pressure while rolling, do it gently. otherwise it will break and wont look nice.
• If trying for the first time then try it in a small batch.
• Once the batter is ready do spread it as quickly as possible.
• Stir continuously. no lumps should be formed.
• Sieve the gram flour if necessary.
