7. Cool and cut in about 50 mm. (2") strips. Roll up the strips (like small Swiss rolls) and keep on a plate.
8. Heat the oil in a vessel and sauté the mustard seeds.
9. When the seeds crackle, take out from the fire, put the asafetida and pour over the arranged rolls.
10. Decorate with the chopped coriander and grated coconut
11. Ready to serve.

Notes

1. Khandvi can also be prepared in a pressure cooker very quickly.
2. If using pressure cooker, put 2 instead of 3 teacups of thin buttermilk and proceed the same way as above.
3. In this Method also, testing is a must.
4. In either Method, if you find difficulty in rolling, once again cook the batter for a very little time and then proceed to cool and roll.
