Gujarati Khandvi / Suralichya Wadya

Khandvi
Khandvi is a tasty Gujarati appetizer made of chickpea flour.  In Marathi these soft besan rolls are well known as Suralichya Wadya. 
Vegans can substitute curd with lemon juice.  Calorie conscious foodies can use buttermilk/taak/chaas instead of curds.

Ingredients:
Chickpea Flour/Gram Flour/Besan - 1/2 cup
Curds/Yogurt/Dahi - 1/4 cup
Green Chilli Paste - 1/2 tsp
Ginger Paste - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric/Haldi - 1/4 tsp
Jaggery or Sugar - 1/4 tsp
Salt

Cilantro/Coriander Leaves - few sprigs
Grated Coconut - 1 tsp
Mustard Seeds - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida/Hing - 1/4 tsp (optional)
Oil

How to cook Gujarati Khandvi / Suralichya Wadya:
  • Add besan, curds, green chilli paste, ginger paste, salt, sugar, turmeric and 1 cup water in a blender/mixer.  Grind/Blend till all the ingredients are mixed well and no lumps are seen.
  • On a flat surface, spread aluminium foil before cooking.  You can use a flat tray or plate as well.
  • spreading KhandviHeat a thick bottom pan and pour the above batter.  Cook at low flame stirring continuously.  The thin batter will thicken to a smooth paste.
  • Spread the cooked batter as thin as possible and evenly on the aluminium foil, roughly shaped like a rectangle.  Let it cool for 5 - 10 minutes.  Use a knife and make lengthwise cuts about 2 inches apart.  Roll each 2 inch wide strip tightly.  Khandvi rolls are ready.  Arrange these khandvi rolls in a serving plate.
  • For tempering/tadka, heat 1 - 2 tsp oil in a small pan.  Add mustard seeds and asafoetida.  When mustard seeds pop, turn off the heat and pour this tadka over the khandvi rolls evenly.  Garnish with finely chopped cilantro leaves and grated coconut.

Indian Dal / Lentils

Lentils, known as Dal are a staple in an Indian diet, especially vegetarian. For me, dal is comfort food. 5 different dal varieties - Toor, Moong, Chana, Masoor and Urad are commonly used in Indian sweet and savory delicacies. You can cook dal with just one kind or a mix of two or more. I generally cook dal with 1:1 Toor and Moong dals. But then, we like Panchmel or Panchratna Dal too, which is made of all five. Most dal recipes have Toor dal as the primary ingredient. It is also known as Toovar or Arhar dal or Split Pigeon Peas . Some of our family favorite dal recipes are Dalitoy (Konkani Dal)  Tadka Dal Among all lentils, moong dal and masoor dal take lesser time to cook. Moong dal is also known as Split Green Gram or Split Mung Bean . Moong dal is also used in making sweet dishes like Mung Dal Kheer  Mung Dal Puranpoli Chana dal is also known as Split Bengal Gram or Split Chickpeas . Chana Dal takes a little more time to cook as compared to toor dal....

Naval Kol Bhaji / Kohlrabi Stir-fry

Green Kohlrabi called as Navalkol in Marathi and Navilkosu in Kannada, belongs to the cabbage family.  My Mom used to make this stir fry very often.  Just like cabbage, this vegetable in available in two colors - green and purple.  I was quite hesitant about the purple one, as I haven't seen that back in India.  Anyway, I picked the green bulbs and Navalkohl Bhaji with Chana Dal was part of our healthy vegetarian meal today.

Surti Val Papdi Bhaji

My Mom used to make Val Papdi Bhaji in a simple way with few ingredients. This is the first time I gave it a try here in my US kitchen. This stir fry does require little more oil, as no water is added for cooking. Dal Rice tastes great with this sauteed Papdi.  I tried this Bhaji once with frozen Surti Papdi and I was not happy with the result. I prefer fresh Papdi for this recipe, which I can only find in the local Indian store. I am not sure if Val Papdi is called as Navy Bean or Fava Bean in English.
