Fusion Cuisine : Instant Cheesy Khandvi Bite

From today onwards I would be posting the recipes on Fridays, so that you can try them out in the weekends.

We try everything to please our child’s tongue. But this delicacy - Khandvi - that comes all the way from Gujarat, in India, is not liked by some of them. So keeping their taste and choices in mind, here’s my first Friday recipe. Also, many people think that making khandvi is really difficult. But this way is really easy. The dish is easy to digest, too. So give it a try this weekend and let me know in the comments about it.

Instant Cheesy Khandvi Bite

Ingredients:

For khandvi:-

1 cup besan(gram flour)

1 glass(300ml) lassi(made of sweet creamy curd)

¼ tsp salt

¼ tsp ghee

¼ tsp turmeric

For filling:-

Amul creamy cheese

Fresh coriander leaves

Method:

• In a small steel container(that can fit in your cooker), mix flour, lassi, turmeric and salt, to make a lump-free mixture.
• In a cooker take 1¼ cup of water.
• When, the water starts boiling, keep a steel bowl in the cooker.
• Now, keep the steel container (containing khandvi mixture) in the cooker at medium flame, and allow five whistles.
• Meanwhile, grease a plate or tray with ghee.
• After 5 whistles, take out the container & stir the mixture vigourously, till it becomes like a thick lump-free paste.
• Once the batter gets ready, quickly spread it on the tray & let it cool down for 5 minutes.
• Then, spread creamy cheese onto the khandvi sheet, in considerable amounts.
• Sprinkle finely chopped coriander leaves on the cheese.
• Cut the sheet into straps of 1-1½ inches.
• Roll the straps with light hands, as applying pressure would result into the breaking of the straps.
• Your silky and smooth Cheesy  Khandvi  Bite  is ready.

Note:

1. Don't season Cheesy  Khandvi Bite, as cheese won't taste good when seasoned.
2. For an authentic Gujarati Khandvi taste, replace cheese with grated coconut and a pinch of grated ginger seasoned with mustard seeds and curry leaves. You may also change the fillings as per your taste.
3. While taking out the container from the cooker & whipping the batter, Be Cautious. They will be steaming hot.
