3. Now, it's time to add some more ingredients into it. Add ginger-green chilli paste, turmeric powder and salt, and mix everything well. Also, add asafoetida.

4. Take a flat thali and grease the backside of it with oil. Keep it aside. Then, heat a non-stick pan and pour the batter into it. Stir the mixture continuously and cook it until it gets thicker.

5. When you see the batter becoming thicker, take a portion out of it with a spatula and spread it on the backside of the thali that you greased with oil earlier.

6. Spread it well, so that it becomes thinner. Now, it's time for topping. Spread green chutney all over the khandvi. Sprinkle cottage cheese, coconut and chopped coriander.

7. Now, take a knife and cut the khandvi into pieces. Take a portion from the end and start rolling the khandvis. Cut in between and make small khandvis. Your khandvis are now ready. Prepare them on a platter.

For tampering, heat oil in a small ladle. Add some mustard seeds.Then, pour the tampering on the khandvis and sprinkle some coriander from top and your khandvis are ready to be served.
