Khandvi/ Gujarathi Pasta/ Surati rolls
I have come around assuming that I belong to 3 states that I can call my own....Maharashtra for obvious reasons and because my parent native place is now absorbed in Karnataka so it becomes my second home state. Post marriage I realised that my new family is more gujarathi than maharashtrian hence Gujarat became my 3rd home state.
Keeping in mind the rules for this month's BM we need to cook a tougher dish from back home,I thought over it. Usually dhokla and handvo, undhiyu intimidates most I am presenting the khandvi recipe. Although I am pretty much at ease making these at home, I know a lot of friends who think it is the task of a genious.
