Khandvi



Ingredients
1 cup besan (bengal gram flour)
1 cup fresh curds (dahi) mixed with 1 1/2 cups of
2 to 3 drops of lemon juice
2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
salt to taste
3 1/4 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)
5 to 6 curry leaves (kadi patta)
1/2 tsp finely chopped green chillies (optional)

For The Garnish
2 tbsp freshly grated coconut
2 tbsp finely chopped coriander (dhania)

Method
    Combine the besan, curds-water mixture, lemon juice, ginger-green chilli paste, turmeric powder, asafoetida and salt in a deep non-stick pan and mix well to make a smooth batter (taking care that no lump remains).
    Cook on a slow flame, while stirring continuously till it becomes thick (approx. 8 to 10 minutes).
    Grease a thali (approx. 10”) on the reverse side using ¼ tsp of oil and spread a spoonful of the batter on a greased thali and wait for a few seconds and try to roll up. If it doesn’t, then cook for a few more minutes, and check once more till done.
    Divide the batter into two equal portions. While the batter is still hot, spread each portion evenly using a spatula, on the reverse greased side of 2 thalis evenly to make a thin uniform layer using a spatula (refer step 1).
    When cool, cut the khandvi on each thali lengthwise (approx. 1½" in width) into equal portions (as shown in the image) and roll up each gently (refer to step 2 and 3).
    For the tempering, just before serving heat the remaining 3 tsp oil in a small non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds.
    When the seeds crackle, add the asafoetida, curry leaves and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
    Pour the tempering over the khandvis.
    Serve immediately garnished with coconut and coriander.

1/4 cup toovar (arhar) dal
1 tbsp urad dal (split black lentils)
1 tbsp green moong dal (split green gram)

1 tbsp whole wheat (gehun) (optional)
1/4 cup sour curds (khatta dahi)
3/4 cup grated bottle gourd (doodhi / lauki)
3 tsp oil

1/2 tsp sesame seeds (til)
1/2 tsp carom seeds (ajwain)
1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)

Method
    Clean, wash and soak the dals, rice and whole wheat together in enough water for atleast 4 to 5 hours. Drain and keep aside.
    Blend the dals, rice and whole wheat in a mixer to a smooth mixture.
    Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the curds and mix well. Cover and keep aside to ferment overnight.
    Add the bottle gourd, 1 tsp oil, lemon juice, soda bi-carb, sugar, chilli powder, turmeric powder, ginger-green chilli paste and salt and mix well. Keep aside.
    Heat the remaining 2 tsp of oil in a non-stick kadhai and add the mustard seeds.
    When the seeds crackle, add the sesame seeds, carom seeds and asafoetida and sauté on a medium flame for a few seconds.
    Pour half the batter evenly to make a thick layer.
    Cover and cook on a slow flame 9 minutes or till the base turns golden brown in colour and crisp.
    Lift the handvo gently using 2 large flat spoons and turn it over to the other side.
    Cover and cook on a slow flame for another 7 minutes or till it turns golden brown in colour.
    Cool slightly and cut into square pieces.
    Repeat the steps 7 to 11 to make one more handvo.
    Serve immediately.


Mini handvo:
    For making mini handvos, divide the same mixture into 4 equal portions and pour each portion into a small non-stick kadhai or a pan and spread it evenly to make a thin layer. Cover and cook on a slow flame till both sides turn golden brown in colour and crisp. This allows more uniform and much quick


For baked handvo:
    You can also cook the handvo in an oven. Simply pour the batter into a greased baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200ºc (400ºf) for 30 to 35 minutes or till the crust is golden brown in colour.

Panki



Ingredients
2 cups rice flour (chawal ka atta)
1/2 cup curds (dahi) , beaten
salt to taste
1/4 tsp asafoetida (hing)
1 tsp cumin seeds (jeera) , roughly ground
1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
2 tsp garlic (lehsun) paste
2 tsp melted ghee
a pinch turmeric powder (haldi)
4 to 6 banana leaves (kele ka patta) , cut into 150 mm. x 150 mm. (6” x 6”) square pieces

    Add ¾ to 1 cup of water, asafoetida, cumin seeds, ginger-green chilli paste, garlic paste, ghee and turmeric powder and mix well.
    Apply a little oil on one side of each banana leaf and keep aside.
    Put 2 tbsp of the batter on one half of the greased side of a banana leaf and spread it evenly to make a thin layer.
    Fold the other side over the batter.
    Cook on a non-stick tava (griddle) using a little oil till light brown spots appear on the leaves and the panki in between peels off the leaf easily.
    Repeat with the remaining ingredients to make 19 more pankis.
