Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Italian Broccoli Khandvi
- For a smoother batter, strain the batter through a fine-mesh sieve before cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the batter. Work in batches if necessary for even cooking and thin spreading.
- If the batter becomes too thick, add a little more water, a tablespoon at a time, to adjust the consistency.
- Experiment with different Italian herbs to create your own unique flavor combinations. Fresh herbs can be used instead of dried, but reduce the amount to about half.
