Ingredients

1 cup besan gram flour
½ cup yogurt
2 cups water
½ inch ginger
2 green chilies
¼ teaspoon haldi turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Juice of half a lime
Pinch of hing asafoetida
1 teaspoon sugar optional, but I like the balance it adds

For Tempering

1 tablespoon oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds rai
1 teaspoon sesame seeds
4 green chilies slit
10 curry leaves
Grated coconut for garnish
Chopped cilantro for garnish

Instructions

Blend the batter

To a mixer jar, I add the besan, yogurt, water, ginger, green chilies, haldi powder, salt hing, sugar, and lime juice. Whirl until the mixture is very smooth and absolutely lump-free.

Strain and cook

Strain the blended liquid into a heavy-bottomed pot. This ensures that the batter is perfectly silky and free of lumps. Cook it on medium to low so that you stir it constantly and don’t burn it.

Check consistency

To test for doneness, spread a bit of batter on a plate. If it comes away easily once cooled, you’re fine.

Spread and cut

Rapidly spread the hot batter in around 1 inch thickness on a greased dish. Let it cool for a few minutes and then cut into tiny bite-size squares or diamonds instead of rolling. I love and prefer this version because it’s faster, and great for feeding a crowd.

Tempering

Add mustard seeds and sesame seeds to hot oil in a small pan and let it burst. Add the curry leaves and the slit green chilies, stir fry for few seconds and pour this aromatic tempering over the khandvi bites.

Garnish & serve

To finish it off, sprinkle some grated coconut and fresh cilantro on top. I tend to serve these with some green chutney, and they disappear in a matter of minutes!

Notes

How to make recipe in Microwave

Microwave in intervals
- Pour the blended batter into a large microwave-safe bowl (it should be big enough to allow the batter to bubble up a bit).
- Microwave on high for 1 minute, then remove and whisk vigorously to get rid of any lumps that may have started forming around the edges.
Repeat & stir
- Microwave again for 1 more minute, then whisk.
- Continue this process in 1-minute intervals, whisking thoroughly after each round. Usually it takes about 4–6 minutes total, depending on your microwave’s power.
- By the 4th minute, the batter will start to thicken significantly — you’ll see it pulling away from the sides as you stir. That’s exactly what you want.
To test, spread a small spoonful on the back of a plate or tray. Let it cool for a few seconds, then try peeling it off gently.
- If it peels cleanly, the batter is ready.
- If it’s still sticky, microwave for another 30 seconds to 1 minute and stir again and repeat.
