ABOUT Stuffed Spinach Khandvi RECIPE

Khandvi is a traditional Gujarati snack that is usually served as a tea-time snack. It is very light, healthy and a melt in the mouth rolls, which is made out of besan (gram flour), yoghurt and other powdered spices. But in this recipe I gave a slight twist by making a stuffed spinach based Khandvi. It was absolutely delicious and worth a try.

Ingredients Serving: 3

  1. 1 cup besan (gram flour)
  2. salt to taste
  3. 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder
  4. 1/2 tsp. asafoetida
  5. 1 tsp. roasted cumin powder
  6. 1 cup yoghurt
  7. 1" ginger
  8. 2 green chilies
  9. 1 cup spinach, chopped
  10. 2 cups water
  11. Tempering --
  12. 2 tbsp. oil
  13. 1/2 tsp. mustard seeds
  14. 1 tsp. sesame seeds
  15. 1 sprig curry leaves
  16. 1/4 cup fresh grated coconut
  17. 3 tbsp. coriander leaves, chopped
  18. 2 tbsp. idli podi

Instructions

  1. Blanch the spinach in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain and set aside to cool. Puree it along with ginger and green chilies.
  2. In a bowl, combine the besan, salt, turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp. asafoetida, cumin powder, yoghurt and the spinach puree. Mix everything well with a spoon.
  3. Add the water and whisk it well so that there are no lumps. Cook the batter in a non-stick pan on a low flame by stirring continuously for 12-15 minutes till it leaves the sides of the pan and becomes thick.
  4. To test if the batter is cooked, spread a tsp. of it on a flat surface (steel plate, plastic plate or kitchen platform). After a minute, try to roll it. If it is done easily, then the batter is done.
  5. Take off the flame and immediately start spreading on back of a steel plate, tray, melamine tray / plate or any flat surface. There is absolutely no need to grease it.
  6. Spread the coconut and idli podi (leave some for garnishing) over it. After it cools down, cut them into 1" strips and gently roll them till the end. Transfer them to a serving plate.
  7. Heat oil in a pan and temper with mustard seeds. After it stops spluttering, add the remaining asafoetida, curry leaves and sesame seeds. Saute for a few seconds and take off the flame.
  8. Pour this tempering on the prepared khandvi. Garnish with the fresh grated coconut, coriander leaves and idli podi. Serve as a tea-time snack.
