    • 2 tbsp chopped coriander leaves/dhania patta
    1. Grease 2 trays or thalis with ½ teaspoon oil and keep it ready.
    2. In a medium bowl(Make sure it can fit into cooker and should be heat tolerant) mix Besan, Yogurt, Ginger, Green Chili, Turmeric, Salt with water. Be sure to add just little water initially to make smooth paste and then add rest of the water. The final batter will be like thick milk.
    3. Now, into the pressure cooker, add 11/2 cups water and place bowl of batter in it and cover the cooker with whistle on.
    4. Cook on medium heat and hear about 5-6 whistles.

    6. When you hear no hissing sound, open the cooker carefully, the batter should be really hot, if you see water on top, drain and start stirring the batter vigorously till smooth and quickly spread onto thali before it cools down. If the batter cools down, you won't be able to spread.
    7. Let batter settled.
    8. In mean while, prepare seasoning.
    9. In a small wok, heat up 1 tbsp oil on medium to high heat.
    10. When the oil is hot enough, add mustard seeds, and let them pop, turn off the stove.
    11. Coming back to the trays, sprinkle Dhaniya and paneer on top, cut and roll the Khandvi.
