Indian food historian, Jonty Rajagopalan, and her friend, Rashmi share their recipe for khandvi, a beloved Gujarati snack made from chickpea flour. The process starts with creating a gluten-free chickpea flour batter, with buttermilk, ginger chili paste, and spices. Constant stirring is essential to achieve a smooth, thick consistency. After cooking, the mixture cools before being shaped on the kitchen countertop. The dough is then cut, rolled, and topped with spices to create soft, melt-in-your-mouth treats.
