Frequently Asked Questions

What is the secret to getting the perfect batter consistency?+

Whisk the chickpea flour and buttermilk until completely smooth, ensuring no lumps remain before heating, as lumps will prevent the khandvi from rolling properly.

How do I know if the batter is cooked enough to spread?+

Perform a 'plate test' by spreading a small amount of the hot mixture onto an inverted plate; if it peels off cleanly after cooling for 30 seconds, it is ready to spread.

What is the best way to spread the batter thinly and evenly?+

Use a wide flat spatula or the back of a large spoon to spread the hot batter onto a greased surface quickly, as it sets very rapidly once removed from the heat.

Can I substitute sour buttermilk if I don't have fresh?+

Yes, using slightly sour buttermilk actually improves the traditional tang of khandvi, but avoid using ultra-thick Greek yogurt as it will alter the required hydration balance.
