Khandvi is a traditional Gujarati snack which is prepared with besan (gram flour), yoghurt and other dry spices. They are light, healthy and are served as a tea-time snack. But I gave a slight twist and made Stuffed Beetroot Khandvi by adding some beetroot puree. So you can treat your family and friends to Khandvi in a new avatar.
