A delicacy from the heartland of Gujarat, Handvo is a unique dish baked in a Kadhai over a traditional tempering and sautéed veggies. Here, we have used a batter of green moong dal which gives a homely flavour and enticing mouth-feel. Ingredients like spinach, onions, coriander and others add to the flavour, while a tempering of sesame really uplifts the aroma. Take care while turning over the handvo, as it must be done slowly without breaking it. Together with peppy green chutney, the Green Moong Dal and Palak Handvo makes an amazing Evening Tea Snacks It can also be served along with a full meal, as a starter.

Ma''am what would be the procedure if one wanted to bake this instead of making in the kadai?

Hi Priya, We have not tried baking it but, you can try. Simply pour the batter into a greased baking tray and bake in a pre-heated oven at 200?C(400?F) for 30 to 35 minutes or till the crust is golden brown in colour.

I made this. But it turned soggy from inside. I followed all the instructions. Is there anything I did wrong?

Hi Dimple, Try and cook the handvo on a little lower flame for a little longer.

I have tried it and it turned out awesome but I want to know that can we ferment the mixture in stead of adding soda and after fermentation is it necessary to add dahi
