Recipe for Khamani, a gujarati snack
1/4 cup besan.
2 cups of buttermilk (Chaas in gujju)
some salt
some haldi
finely crushed chilli/jalapenos..
mix besan and buttermilk properly so the there are no lumps - take your time but mix it well. add all spices - all this in a microwaveable bowl. heat for 2 mins on high. take the bowl out and mix it again so there are no lumps. ok let me say this again - no lumps - it should be a fine mixture. heat again for 2 mins.
on a flat surface spray some water and cover it with an aluminium foil. spread the mixture that we prepared above on the aluminium foil - try to make the layer as thin as possible. let it cool for a couple of minutes. use a knife to cut out strips - roll it up like you would roll up a sleeping bag.
take a dish and place the rolls that we prepared above.
in a separate vessel take some oil (2/3 tbspn) - take some rai (dunno what it is called in english) - let it sizzle - add some chilli - spread this out on our roles - add some cilantro, tal/til (no ingles) .
goes well with johny walker.. <!--emo&:beer--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cheers.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='cheers.gif' /><!--endemo-->
