One of the many things that we love eating during Navratri is the traditional Gujarati dish khandvi. Made with besan flour, khandvi is a great low-cal and filling snack (1 khandvi is about 60 calories) you can carry in your tiffin box or serve as an appetizer to your guests at your lunch or dinner party. Here is a khandvi recipe with a twist by Chef Manish Mehrotra.
