Khandvi is a popular gujarati delicacy that involves a lot of practise and patience to get those perfect spirals. It is made using gram flour and yoghurt and flavoured with the tempering of pungent mustard, sesame seeds and curry leaves. Today i am sharing a recipe for stuffed khandvi with fresh coconut and coriander filling.

  5. Let it cool completely for 10-12 min. and spread coconut and chopped coriander evenly.
  6. Cut into 2" wide strips and start rolling from the edges gently.
  7. Make all the rolls and keep on a plate.
  8. To prepare tempering, heat oil and add mustard seeds, sesame seeds and finally curry leaves.
  9. Pour the prepared tadka on the khandvi rolls evenly using spoon.
  10. Garnish with coconut and coriander leaves and enjoy after refrigerating for few min.
NOTE:
  • If the batter is not cooked properly, it will be sticky and you will not be able to make rolls.
  • If the batter is overcooked, it will be thick and you will not be able to spread properly.
  • Spread the batter as quickly as possible when its hot else it will get thicker and you will not be able to spread the batter.
  • It can be stored for 1-2 day in fridge.
