Khandvi or Suralichya Vadya, are usually made with regular thinned yogurt or buttermilk. I make these with plain and greek style coconut milk Yogurt and they work out perfect. These roll ups can be made ahead and refrigerated. Warm them up in the microwave or just let come to room temperature, before serving, add fresh hot tempering and serve.

Servings: 8 rolls
Calories: 41kcal
Ingredients
Batter:
- 1/4 cup (30 g) chickpea flour
- 2 Tablespoons So Delicious plain Greek yogurt + 1/2 cup water or 4 Tablespoons plain coconut milk yogurt or other non dairy yogurt + 1/3 cup water
- a generous pinch of Asafoetida hing
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) ginger-garlic paste
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) green chili paste or chili/cayenne powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (0.25 teaspoon) turmeric powder
- 1/3 teaspoon (0.33 teaspoon) salt
- 1 teaspoon organic canola or virgin coconut oil
Tempering:
- 2 teaspoons organic canola or virgin coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon (0.5 teaspoon) mustard seeds
- 1 Tablespoon shredded coconut optional
- 1 Tablespoon Cilantro finely chopped
- a generous pinch asafoetida hing
- 1 green chili finely chopped or to taste
Filling:
- 2-3 Tablespoons (2 Tablespoons) Finely Chopped Kale and Cilantro blanched, for adding to the roll ups or smooth kale or greens pesto or cilantro chutney.
Instructions
- Mix all the batter ingredients, except oil to make a lump free batter. Blend it using a hand blender or a regular blender if needed.
- Heat a teaspoon of oil in a medium pan, Add the batter and cook on low heat.
- Stir continuously and evenly to avoid lumps. Cook till the mixture does not taste raw and thickens to slight gel like consistency. (4-6 minutes depending on the pan)
- Drop the mixture immediately on aluminium foil and spread as thin as possible with a spatula.( 2 to 3 mm thick). Video of authentic(non-vegan) Khandvi here to get an idea of how the batter behaves.
- After it has completely cooled( 10 minutes), cut into 1.5 -2 inch wide strips.
- Oil your hands, lift one side carefully and Roll each strip into rolls, like a fruit roll up. Place some soft finely chopped Kale leaves or spinach, cilantro, or chutneys on the strip before rolling for a stuffed roll up. Place each roll up on a serving plate. You can refrigerate these for a day or 2 and temer right before serving.
- For the tempering, Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds, and allow them to start popping.
- Add asafoetida, and chili and cook for 15 seconds.
- Pour over rolls.
- Garnish with shredded coconut, chopped cilantro and lemon juice. Serve.

Nandi
Hing should be gluten free version or hing block. Most of the brands sell with gluten
Rohini
Will this come out successful with almond milk or water instead of the vegan yogurt?
Richa
Yes it should work
Gee
Very creative way to present Gujarati recipe. For this one has several versions including how to make in pressure cooker or in microwave. Hing/ asafoetida is not vegan. Gujarati has many vegan recipes.
Divya
Lovely recipe. Asafoetida is generally not gluten-free. If your readers are looking for a 100% GF version then a GF asafoetida like this one will help https://www.amazon.com/Casa-Sante-Gluten-Asafoetida-Asafetida/dp/B06Y1MN6YH/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1506821749&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=gluten+free+asafoetida+powder&psc=1

What an amazing khandvi are … Lovely clicks. Simple and easy to follow recipe !!
Laura
If you can’t have asafoetida because it sometimes has wheat in it, what is a good substitute, or do I just not worry about it?
Sarah Edwards
Warm them up in the microwave or just let come to room temperature, before serving, add fresh hot tempering and serve. copper still

Gretchen @gfedge
What an interesting way to use chickpea flour. It is such a nutritious gluten-free option rather than the flours that are mostly starch. Thanks for sharing on Wellness Weekend.
Alea Milham
What a an amazing treat! I have chickpea flour on hand and have been looking for ways to make a dent in it. Looking forward to trying this.

I bet the garlicky pesto is amazing with these – I have never seen anything remotely similair to this recipe, you always make the coolest things Richa!
Toni Kaste NC
And chickpea instead of corn…
Richa
somewhat maybe. The batter is really smooth and chickpea flour tastes very different than polenta:)
Toni Kaste NC
Kinda like polenta but thin????
Cadry

Delicious looking Khandvi, Richa. I love these but I don’t make them often enough because I need to soak the Moong Dal for a couple of hours and I forget to do so. But your Besan version will satisfy the craving pretty soon. 🙂
