Khandvi is an elegant Gujarati snack of thin, rolled gram flour sheets with a tempered coconut garnish. This light, high protein vegetarian dish is naturally low-calorie and ideal for healthy family snacking.
In a bowl, whisk together chickpea flour, yogurt, water, turmeric, salt, and sugar until smooth with no lumps.
Pour the mixture into a heavy, nonstick saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly to prevent sticking, for 10–12 minutes until the batter thickens and becomes glossy.
Quickly spread the hot batter thinly (about 1–2 mm) onto the back of greased plates or trays using a spatula. Work fast before it cools.
Allow sheets to cool for 5 minutes, then cut into 2-inch wide strips. Carefully roll each strip into tight rolls using gentle pressure to avoid cracks.
For tempering, heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds; once they splutter, add sesame seeds, green chili, and curry leaves. Pour tempering evenly over the rolls.
Garnish with fresh grated coconut and chopped cilantro before serving.
