Hello everyone, today I am going to share delicious and healthy snack from the Gujarati cuisine.  And it is called "Khandvi". It is smooth, spiced & seasoned gram flour rolls melts in mouth.

Step 6

Again microwave it for 2 more minutes. To check that our batter is perfect or not we have to do a test. Take a spoon and on the back side of spoon apply very thin layer of batter. Allow it to cool for few seconds, once it is done try to peel it off from spoon's surface. If you can able to peel it off easy then our batter it ready. Otherwise you have to microwave it for approximately 30 sec more.
