In a large microwave safe bowl, mix Besan (Gram Flour), Yogurt, Turmeric Powder, Salt and Asofoetida.

You may have to use a hand blender to remove any lumps. 

Lay out Aluminum Foil in long sheets (approx 2 ft) on the counter top. (Once the batter is out of the microwave, you have to work fast before it solidifies.)

 Spoon batter along one edge of the foil and with a flat spatula, gently pull the batter down along the foil (spreading it very thin). Once the foil is completely covered, start on the next piece of foil. Repeat until all batter is thinly spread. 

Let the batter rest for 5 minutes and allow it to solidify.With a sharp knife, cut long 1 to 1 1/2 inch strips in the solid batter. 

Gently lift the edge and roll the strip into a tight roll. You can make the rolls as big as you like. If they get too thick, cut it off and start a new roll. 

Repeat rolling and placing rolls on a platter.Sprinkle Coconut and Cilantro (Coriander),Curry leaves pwd, Pepper pwd, Red chilli pwd over the Khandvi. 

Heat Oil in a small skillet, add Mustard Seeds, allow them to pop. Add Asofoetida, Green Chilies and switch off heat.
