Till you observe a consistent paste, adjust the heat accordingly to avoid scorching, by stirring it properly.

It can be understood that it is cooked well, when you separate a portion of it from the rest with a stirrer and you can see the bottom of the pan, which gets covered gradually (if it gets covered soon, it is very thin).

Now spread the mixture onto an ungreased surface with a rubber spatula, in a thin layer and leave it idle to get cooled.
 

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a small pan and add the sarson, kadhi patta and sabut lal mirch. Stir good number of times and spread over the layer. Except one table spoon of coriander and coconut, sprinkle all and get ready with lal mirchi on the sideways.

Now, cut this layer into strips, roll up each strip like a scroll, as firmly as you can. Make sure you do not break them.

Now shift the entire mix into the final dish and garnish with the rest of the coriander, coconut and peppers. The delicious and Gujarathi Khandvi is all yours now.
