A delicious Gujarati dish made of rice and lentils.
You can call it a savoury cake loaded with the goodness of vegetables and lentils.
A baked dish with soaked and ground rice, different types of lentils or dal, spices, carrot and bottle gourd. Any other vegetables can be added in it.

This month in facebook group Shhhhh cooking secretly challenge

Method

Soak rice and lentils for 4 – 5 hours.
Grind into a coarse paste. Add very little water if require.

Take out the ground mixture in a big bowl. Add curd and mix well. Cover and keep aside for fermentation. I have kept overnight.

Mix salt, turmeric powder, asafetida, grated carrot, bottle gourd, ginger, chopped green chillies, cilantro or coriander leaves, sugar, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon oil. Mix everything well.

Grease a baking pan generously.
Preheat the oven at 200Β°for 15 minutes.

Heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When the seeds starts to splutter add curry leaves and asafetida, stir and switch off the flame.

Add sesame seeds. Mix and add half of the tempering in the batter and mix well.

Add Eno fruit salt just before baking. Give a good stir and pour the batter in the oil greased baking pan.

Tap gently.
Pour the remaining tempering over it. Spread evenly.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes or until the top becomes brown.

Let it cool down. Cut into square pieces. Serve warm or cold with any chutney or sauce.

    You have made the already healthy Handvo even more healthier by adding so much more. I love handvo a lot along with coriander chutney. Great share!

Recipe Developer Behind The Blog

Hello there!

I am Sujata Roy. A homemaker, a blogger, a passionate cook, a recipe developer, a home baker, and lastly a foodie.

Experimenting in the kitchen is what I love and enjoy doing the most. Specially experimenting with vegetarian dishes and egg-less cakes and cookies is what interests me more.

My loved ones are fond of vegetarian cuisines, so I have them in my mind whenever I dish out a new recipe.

However, I do not limit my experimental cooking to vegetarian recipes only, non-vegetarian recipe ideas are also dished out. And you can also get many healthy recipes in this blog, including different types of baking ideas with healthy ingredients. So enjoy healthy foods without compromising on taste.

Thank you for visiting my blog. Happy Cooking!
