KHANDVI / SURALICHI VADI / PATULI / DAHIVADI - Gujarathi Cuisine




Khandvi is a savoury snack in Gujarathi cuisine.  It consists of yellowish, rightly rolled bite sized pieces made of gram flour and yogurt.  Commonly eaten as an appetizer or as a snack.  In Maharashra, is also known as Suralichi vadi or Patuli.  I have seen this in the food program and can't resist myself to wait.  When I see the video thought it will be very difficult but am sure it is quite easy.  It is a very perfect starter for the party and I would definitely want to make it often.  Am sure, by seeing the image it makes us that it is difficult, but trust me it is very easy to make and everyone love it.

The batter gets thickened faster and stir until the mixture thickens and gets cooked well.  The consistency must not to be thick and its supposed to be like a jam spread that can easily to spread. Do not get over thickened, else it may not be able to spread.  Quickly place the mixture on the clean counter top or on the cutting board as shown in the below picture.  Take a spatula and spread it like a thin layer.   Let it get cool down and draw a line with a knife into strips.  


Start rolling each strips gently on the edge and finish it at the other end. Make all the khandvis and arrange in the serving tray.
