Micorwave Khandvi/Savory Swiss Rolls

Khandvi is Gujarati delicacy made using Gram Flour/Chickpea Powder and flavoured with tempering of pungent mustard, spicy green chillies, coconut and aromatic coriander leaves. After staying in Gujarat for 5 years, I always thought that it is very difficult to make Khandvi.  Then one day while browsing for recipes I came across Microwave Khandvi  and I could no more resist the temptation. The ingredients listed and the method sounded simple enough to give it a go. I gathered all the courage and was very happy with the results. Do try this Indian Savoury Swiss Rolls.

Notes:-While preparing the batter make it lump free as it will help you to evenly spread.

-Spread the batter quickly, it is important to spread the batter before it cools down and it is difficult to spread cooled batter thinly and evenly.

-Batter can also be spread at the back of steel plates.
-Perfect Measurements are the key to make proper khandvi.
