Khandvi

Method

1. 1 Beat the besan flour with yogurt, water, turmeric powder, shallots, and salt until smooth, then strain through a sieve.
2. 2 Simmer the mixture over low heat, stirring constantly for 12 minutes until it thickens and the raw flour smell disappears.
3. 3 Immediately apply a very thin layer of flour to the stainless steel tray, and let it cool for 5 minutes until the surface is slightly dry.
4. 4 Cut the dough into long strips, then roll them tightly into small rolls and arrange them on a plate.
5. 5 Sauté mustard seeds, white sesame seeds, and curry leaves in oil, then drizzle with the sauce, and sprinkle with grated coconut and cilantro.
