• Pour batter into a heavy bottomed pan or a Kadai and cook on low flame.
• cook this mixture by stirring continuously, till it becomes a smooth thick batter. It takes a few minutes to get this ready.
• Spread oil on plates or boards or trays. Large steel lids or thalis work very well. You can also use the back of a large baking tray
•  Spread batter in a thin layer with the backside of a flat spoon or a spatula. Depending on the quantity of the batter and the size of a plate, you may need 2-3 plates to spread the whole batter.
• When cool, cut into strips two inches wide and roll them tightly and taking care that you don’t break them.

NOTES

• Don’t cook the Khandvi batter for too long. If the mixture thickens, the layers will become thick as well.
• Spread the prepared batter immediately as it will cool down very fast.2. Make sure to remove the batter from the flame as soon it turns pasty.
• Khandvi goes best with coriander chutney, coriander mint chutney, or garlic chutney.
