Microwave Khandvi

Microwave Khandvi

Khandvi is one of my most favourite Gujarati dish. I love the way I can unroll the rolled khandvi in my mouth. As i have been using my microwave a lot lately, I wanted to do the microwave version. Hence, I referred to one of my favourites, late Tarla Dalal's recipes and trust me, it was as good as the normal one made on the gas. My husband, who is my biggest critic loved it and asked to keep some for the evening too. Try it and enjoy!!
