Khandvi Recipe: A Light and Healthy West Indian Breakfast

Khandvi Recipe: A Light and Healthy West Indian Breakfast
Khandvi, also known as Suralichi Vadi, is a popular snack from Gujarat and Maharashtra. It is loved for its delicate texture, mild flavor, and beautiful rolled appearance. This healthier version replaces regular curd with vegan curd while keeping besan as the main ingredient, making it a nutritious breakfast that is rich in protein and suitable for balanced eating.
Why This Khandvi Is a Healthy Choice
Besan (chickpea flour) is naturally high in protein and fiber, helping promote fullness and gradual energy release. Using vegan curd instead of dairy makes the recipe lighter while maintaining its smooth texture and tangy flavor.
The minimal use of oil and gentle cooking method further enhance its nutritional value.
Ingredients
For the batter
1 cup besan (chickpea flour)
1 cup vegan curd
2 cups water
¾ tsp green chilli paste
¾ tsp ginger paste
Salt to taste
For tempering
1¼ tsp mustard seeds
¾ tsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp asafoetida
2 green chillies
Curry leaves
2 tsp red chilli powder
Fresh coriander
Grated coconut
Method
Mix vegan curd, water, and besan until smooth.
Add ginger paste, chilli paste, and salt.
Cook over medium heat while stirring continuously.
Once the mixture thickens, spread it immediately into thin layers on plates.
Allow it to cool slightly.
Cut into long strips and gently roll each strip.
Prepare the tempering by roasting mustard seeds, cumin, curry leaves, green chillies, and asafoetida.
Pour the tempering over the rolls.
Garnish with coriander and grated coconut.
