Moringa Khandvi Bites

 

          Khandvi is a traditional Gujarati snack that is served for breakfast or as a tea time snack. It is generally light and melt in the mouth rolls made from a combination of gram flour-yoghurt batter and tempered with few spices. They are very healthy and delicious. 

          

          However, this recipe has few twists. I added some moringa leaves to the batter to make it much healthier. I also prepared it in a much easier method and garnished the end product with some idli podi. 

          In this way, you get an amazingly fusion style Moringa Khandvi Bites that is completely hassle free. Serve them with or without chutney for breakfast, tea-time snack or as a lunch box meal. So check out an easy step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this melt-in-the-mouth delicacy.
