MOONGDAL KHANDVI

Khandvi is a Gujarati Snack dish basically made with Besan or gram flour.  I tried the same with moongdal and that too came out well.  Preparation method is the same as like the gram flour and easy to prepare.

MOONGDAL KHANDVI

Let us look at the recipe now:




 Ingredients:

1/4 cup  moong dal
1/4 cup thick curd
1/2 cup water
a pinch of asafoetida
1/4 tsp green chilli and ginger paste
salt
turmeric powder
1 tsp oil

Tempering:

1 tsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp white sesame seeds
few curry leaves

Garnishing:

little red chilli powder
1 tsp grated coconut
1 tsp chopped coriander leaves.

Method:

Soak the moongdal for 2 hours, drain the excess water. 

1.  Beat the curd smoothly and add water in it, mix well.
2.  Add the turmeric powder, asafoetida, ginger chilli paste, salt.
3.  Add 1/4 cup of this mix in the moongdal and grind to a smooth paste.  Ensure that it is very smooth and there is no granules in it.
4.  I passed it through a sieve finally to remove the granules,  if any.
5.  Add the oil and cook the same in low flame continuously stirring in a non stick pan.
6.  Ensure that it does not stick to the pan.
7.  Grease oil on back of the  plates  and keep ready.
8.  When you feel that the paste is thickened, spread little on the plate wait for a minute  and see whether you are able to roll the same.  If you are able to roll the same, then it is the right consistency and remove from fire and spread it with the spatula a thin layer.

9.  Allow to cool.  Cut equally strips and start rolling the same one by one. 

10.  Temper with the ingredients mentioned under tempering.
