Spinach Khandvi Recipe - Savory Gram Flour Pinwheels With Spinach

Step 1: To begin making the Spinach Khandvi Recipe, into a blender combine the besan, curd, spinach leaves, turmeric powder, asafoetida powder,  sugar, salt  and blitz it once, once it has all come together

Step 2: Open the mixer jar add about a cup of water and blitz the mixture once again

Step 3: When you blend, add the water little at a time, so we get a finely pureed spinach mixture

Step 4: Before we proceed to the next step, we need to prepare the work surface to make Khandvi

Step 5: It is important to have a smooth surface and the ideal is granite counter top

Step 6: Clean the counter top thoroughly as you will be spreading the cooked gram flour mixture

Step 7: If you don't have a granite counter top, then you can use a flat plate or a smooth cookie sheet big enough to spread the mixture

Step 8: If you do it on plates, or cookie sheets, you will probably have to spread the mixture in multiple rounds

Step 9: The number of these plates you need will depend on how thin you spread the mixture

Step 10: My estimate is about 3-4 plates of 12 inch diameter

Step 11: Also if you use plates or cookie sheets, spread them on the back side

Step 12: Transfer the khandvi batter into a non-stick pan and heat on low to medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent lump formation

Step 13: Continue stirring on low heat, till the mixture thickens for 15 minutes

Step 14: The mixture will begin to attain a shine

Step 15: Once you notice the Khandvi batter has a shine to it and has thickened, turn off the heat

Step 16: Keep the mixture covered, so it remains hot while you proceed to the steps below, as it will not spread when it cools down

Step 17: Spread the hot mixture on the prepared surface as thinly as possible, with a flat spatula

Step 18: When you have finished spreading the batter, allow it to cool a little and settle down about three minutes and not less

Step 19: Repeat this process and continue to spread the entire mixture, before it cools down

Step 20: After about 10 minutes have passed begin rolling the mixture into a log starting from the top

Step 21: Once the rolls have been made, cut the rolls into one inch size logs

Step 22: Place the cut rolls on a serving platter

Step 23: Heat oil in a pan for seasoning; add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves allow them to crackle

Step 24: Sprinkle the seasoning over the rolls and garnish with coriander leaves and coconut

Step 25: This can be made one day ahead and kept in the refrigerator and warmed up in the microwave before serving

Step 26: Serve Spinach Khandvi as a side dish along with Gujarati Dal, Aloo Bhindi and Hot Phulkas for your weekday lunch
