Ingredients

Dough
  • Gram Flour

    200 grams

  • Water

    200 milliliters

Filling
  • Mixed Vegetables (carrots, beans, cabbage)

    100 grams

  • Green Chilies

    2 pieces

  • Ginger Paste

    a pinch

Spices
  • Turmeric Powder

    0.5 teaspoons

  • Salt

    1 teaspoon


Instructions

  • 1
    In a large mixing bowl, combine gram flour and water, and mix until smooth, ensuring there are no lumps.

    Start by preparing the dough. In a large bowl, take the gram flour and gradually add in the water while continuously mixing. This process is crucial and must be done carefully to avoid lumps, as a smooth dough is essential for making the khandvi rolls. If the dough becomes too thick, a little more water can be added, but do so cautiously.

  • 2
    Add the mixed vegetables, green chilies, and ginger paste to the dough and mix well.

    Next, incorporate the mixed vegetables, green chilies, and ginger paste into the dough. Mix everything together thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined. This step introduces flavor and texture to the dish, making the rolls more appealing.

  • 3
    Add the turmeric powder and salt, and mix again to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

    Proceed to add the turmeric powder and salt to the dough. Mixing these spices in at this stage is important for enhancing the flavor of the khandvi. Ensure that the spices are evenly distributed by mixing the dough thoroughly.

  • 4
    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and pour a small amount of the dough mixture onto it.

    Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Once the pan is ready, take a small amount of the dough mixture and pour it onto the pan. Spread it evenly into a thin layer, using a spatula to achieve the desired thickness and shape. This step is where the dough starts to take the shape of the rolls.

  • 5
    Let the mixture cook until the edges start to dry and the surface appears set, then remove from heat.

    Allow the mixture to cook on the pan until the edges start to dry out and the surface of the dough appears set. This indicates that it is ready to be rolled. Be cautious not to overcook, as this can make the khandvi brittle and difficult to roll.

  • 6
    Roll the cooked khandvi tightly but gently, and place on a serving plate.

    Once the khandvi is cooked and ready, carefully roll it up tightly but gently to form a compact roll. The rolling needs to be done while the khandvi is still warm, as this makes it easier to shape and prevents it from breaking. Place the roll on a serving plate.

    A unique take on traditional Indian cuisine, but doesn't quite fit my flavor profile. The use of gram flour and mixed vegetables is interesting, but I'm not sure I'd enjoy the combination of flavors and textures. The recipe seems detailed and thorough, which I appreciate as someone who values precision. However, I'd love to see a variation of this dish with more Middle Eastern influences, such as sumac or pomegranate molasses, to give it a bit more depth and familiarity for my taste buds. Perhaps a fusion of Indian and Middle Eastern flavors could result in a delightful and unexpected culinary experience.

    A nice try, but not my usual Nordic vibe. I like my food with a bit more *oomph*. The ingredients seem healthy, though. I miss some Nordic flavors like dill or aquavit. The recipe is easy to follow, but I wish there were more ideas for variation. Maybe some pickled vegetables or a dollop of sour cream?

    I tried Vegetable Khandvi recipe. I like to eat meat, sushi and ramen. This recipe was okay but I did not like it very much. It had no meat. I also did not understand why it was made with gram flour. I think it was a little bit difficult to make. I had to be careful when I mixed the dough so it did not have lumps. I liked the color of the rolls, they were very yellow from the turmeric. Overall, I would not make this again.

    A Deliciously Nuanced Recipe - Kudos and a Few Tweaks I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with this Vegetable Khandvi recipe. As a vegetarian with a penchant for Mediterranean flavors, I found the combination of gram flour, mixed vegetables, and spices to be quite intriguing. The addition of green chilies and ginger paste added a lovely depth to the dish. While it may not be a traditional Mediterranean recipe, I appreciate the creativity and nutritional value it brings to the table. The preparation process was relatively straightforward, although I did find the dough mixture to be a tad too thick at times. A minor adjustment to the water ratio resolved this issue. I also appreciated the emphasis on achieving a smooth dough, as this is crucial to the overall texture of the khandvi rolls. In terms of presentation, the rolls looked delightful, and the flavors were well-balanced. However, I might suggest a few tweaks to make it more suitable for my taste preferences. Perhaps a drizzle of lemon juice or a sprinkle of sumac could enhance the Mediterranean flavors? Additionally, I would recommend substituting the mixed vegetables with more colorful options, such as bell peppers or zucchini, to add an extra pop of color. Overall, I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something new and exciting. Just be sure to keep an eye on the dough consistency and adjust as needed. And, of course, do be mindful of any potential allergens - I'm just glad there were no nuts in sight! Rating: 4/5 stars

    This vegan khandvi recipe offers a creative and nutritious snack option. The use of gram flour and mixed vegetables provides a good base for a plant-based dish. However, to cater to my mild soy intolerance, I would suggest substituting gram flour with an alternative if possible. The recipe's concise steps are appreciated, making it easy to follow. Overall, a solid 4-star recipe for those looking to explore new plant-based cuisine.

  • Sophia_R_2004

    I'm not gonna lie, this Vegetable Khandvi recipe is a bit outta my comfort zone. I mean, I'm all about tacos and empanadas, and sweet treats, but I do love trying new stuff. The ingredients seem pretty cool, I like that it's got mixed veggies and spices. The steps look kinda like making a big ol' burrito, but with gram flour and no meat. I'm pescatarian, so I might sub in some seafood for the missing protein. Overall, it's not bad, but it's not my go-to either. I'd give it a solid 3 stars, maybe 4 if I actually make it and it's super delish. Would def need some tweaks to make it more my style, tho

    ¡Este khandvi es un regalo de sabor y salud! Me encantó la textura suave de la masa de harina de garbanzo y la manera en que se combina con las verduras frescas. La receta es muy creativa y me gustó el proceso de enrollar las khandvis en rollitos deliciosos. Aunque es un plato vegetariano, puedo ver cómo se podría adaptar para incluir pollo o pescado para aquellos que lo deseen. La única sugerencia que tengo es agregar un toque de sabor a la mexicana, quizás con un poco de cilantro fresco o un squeeze de limón. ¡De todas maneras, una receta deliciosa y nutritiva que definitivamente repetiré!

    ### A Symphony of Flavors and Textures: Vegetable Khandvi Delight As I unwrapped the delicate roll, the aroma of gram flour and spices wafted up, transporting me to the bustling streets of India. The first bite was a revelation - the tender crunch of mixed vegetables, the subtle zing of green chilies, and the comforting warmth of turmeric powder all harmonized in perfect symphony. The gram flour, cooked to a silky smoothness, provided a lovely canvas for the vibrant flavors to dance upon. While I appreciated the creativity of this snack, I couldn't help but feel that it was a dish begging for a infusion of Chinese tea culture, my own personal passion. A drizzle of fragrant jasmine tea-infused oil or a sprinkle of tea leaves would have elevated this khandvi to new heights. Nevertheless, the recipe's inherent charm and satisfying flavors won me over. As a lactose intolerant foodie, I was relieved to find that this dish was naturally free from dairy products, making it a welcome addition to my culinary repertoire. The fact that it's also vegetarian-friendly is just the icing on the cake. In short, this Vegetable Khandvi recipe is a delightful exploration of textures and tastes, one that I would wholeheartedly recommend to fellow food enthusiasts. Its medium difficulty level and preparation time make it an approachable yet rewarding dish to attempt. So go ahead, give it a try, and let the beauty of Indian cuisine transport you to a world of flavors!

    Ah, khandvi, you sly thing! I was skeptical at first, but your blend of gram flour, spices, and mixed veggies had me hooked. The process of making you was like a dance - smooth dough, flavorful mix-ins, and a gentle roll into tasty little treats. I added some extra heat with Ghana's infamous scotch bonnet peppers, and oh boy, you came alive! Your bold flavors resonated with my love for traditional Ghanaian cuisine, especially the spicy kick that jollof rice lovers like me crave. The only thing that kept me from giving you a full 5 stars was the preparation time - 30-40 minutes? That's a lot of patience for this impatient Ghanaian! Still, your nutritious goodness and community-worthy snack potential make you a winner in my book. As we say in Ghana, 'one full spoon cannot feed two,' but with you, I'd happily share with my friends and family. Keep rolling, khandvi, you're a flavor bomb waiting to explode in my kitchen!

    I try this Vegetable Khandvi recipe and it is *so delicious*! As a vegetarian who loves trying new foods, I really enjoy the mix of gram flour, spices, and veggies. The rolls are easy to make and look very pretty on the plate. I like that it is gluten-free, which is good for my dietary needs. The steps are clear and I like the idea of rolling them up while they are still warm. My only suggestion is to maybe add some African spices to give it a little kick! Overall, I am very happy with this recipe and I think you should try it too!

    ### A Symphony of Flavors in Every Roll In the realm of culinary delights, where tradition meets innovation, Vegetable Khandvi stands as a testament to the beauty of fusion cuisine. This dish, with its roots in Indian tradition, resonates deeply with my love for the intricate dance of flavors found in spicy curries. The thought of gram flour, mixed vegetables, green chilies, and ginger paste coming together in harmony is nothing short of enchanting. The process of crafting these rolls is akin to weaving a tapestry of textures and tastes. The meticulous mixing of the dough, the vibrant addition of vegetables, and the subtle hint of turmeric and salt, all blend together to create a sensory experience that is both grounding and uplifting. As I envision savoring these khandvi rolls, I am reminded of the cozy warmth of a Danish afternoon, where smørrebrød and kanelsnurrer often take center stage. Yet, the spicy undertones and the innovative use of ingredients in Vegetable Khandvi add a layer of excitement that is hard to resist. In conclusion, this recipe is a beautiful blend of tradition and creativity, much like my own appreciation for food. It's a dish that speaks to the soul, promising a journey of flavors that is both familiar and new. A truly delightful experience for the senses.

    I like recipe, but need modification. I am lactose intolerant, so no dairy products. I love spicy food, like Moroccan tagines, so I add more green chilies and some cumin powder. Gram flour okay, but not very common in my country. I make similar dish with couscous or semolina. Khandvi rolls look tasty, but I not sure about mixed vegetables, maybe add some preserved lemon or olives for more flavor. Overall, good recipe, but need some changes to fit my taste.

  • KaiTheGreat22

    I really like this recipe! As someone who enjoys sushi and ramen, I appreciate how the gram flour and mixed vegetables are rolled together to make a tasty snack. The steps to make it are clear, although some words were a bit hard for me to understand. I wish there were more vegetables in the recipe, but overall, it's a great option for a quick and easy snack. I also like that it's lactose-free, which is important for me since I'm lactose intolerant. I'll definitely try making this again and experiment with different vegetables.

    This Vegetable Khandvi recipe, while intriguing, didn't quite resonate with my love for traditional Mexican dishes like tamales and mole. As a vegetarian, I appreciate the use of gram flour and mixed vegetables, but the flavors felt a bit too subtle for my taste. The preparation process was a bit tedious, and I had to be careful not to overcook the mixture. I also had to substitute some ingredients due to my nut allergy, which wasn't a problem but added an extra layer of caution. Overall, it's a nice snack, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it again. 'No es mi pasión, pero es un buen intento' (It's not my passion, but it's a good try).
