What the real thing tastes like

Khandvi (Gujarati: ખાંડવી khāṇḍvī), also known as patuli, dahivadi or suralichi vadi (Marathi: सुरळीची वडी), is a savory snack in Gujarati cuisine of India. It consists of yellowish, tightly rolled bite-sized pieces and is primarily made of gram flour and yogurt. Khandvi is readily available across India and is commonly eaten as an appetizer or snack. Many people choose to buy it from local shops rather than preparing it at home. It is sometimes served with garlic chutney.

Khandvi is a Gujarati snack that arrives as tight, golden-yellow spirals—gram flour and yogurt rolled into bite-sized pieces that demand to be eaten warm. It's the kind of thing most people buy fresh from a local shop rather than wrestle with at home, a practical choice that speaks to how much technique hides inside something so small. Eaten as an appetizer or snack, often with garlic chutney on the side, it's become common enough across India that you'll find it nearly anywhere.
