Khandvi Chickpea Flour Rolls
Khandvi is a famous traditional Gujarati dish. In India, the state of Gujarat is very famous for its delicacies. This is one of the so called delicacies. It requires practice and speed to roll it. My kids use to call it "carpet" because it is rolled on foil paper or on the flat surface of a thali or dish. It is made from Channa Dal flour which means chick pea flour which is high in protein and very low in the glycemic index.
