Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup besan (gram flour)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp red chili powder
- 1/2 tsp cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

Special equipment needed:

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine besan, buttermilk, turmeric powder, red chili powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to make a smooth batter.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add the batter and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring continuously, until the batter thickens and starts to leave the sides of the pan.
3. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool for a few minutes. Once it is cool enough to handle, spread a thin layer of the mixture on a greased surface.
4. Using a knife or spatula, cut the spread mixture into thin strips and roll them tightly.
5. Arrange the rolls on a serving plate.
6. In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds and sesame seeds. Once they start to splutter, add green chilies and sauté for a few seconds.
7. Pour the tempering over the khandvi rolls.
