Khandvi

Khandvi is a popular Gujarati snack made from a smooth, spiced chickpea flour batter that’s cooked and spread thin, then rolled into bite-sized pieces. Topped with a tempering of mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and curry leaves, it offers a perfect balance of tangy, savory, and mildly spicy flavors. Its delicate, melt-in-the-mouth texture makes it a favorite appetizer or snack.
