Khandvi - It's different!


People assume "Khandvi" is the yellow colored spiral rolls. But there exists another "Khandvi". You see, the yellow colored Khandvi is a Gujarati name which goes by "SuraLichya VaDya" in Maharashtra & Maharashtrian Khandvi is actually a sweet made from rice, jaggery and coconut.  Have I confused you enough?;-)
