Handvo is yet another Gujarati delicacy that I relish a lot.Its lip smacking tasty which is very healthy and one pot meal.It is full of protein and lots of vegetables & Bottle Guard is a key ingredient that is used in all kind of Handvo .Handvo is a tempered savoury cake ,Made with gram flour or lentils and other vegetables then mixed with whole spices and cooked to perfection!It is crispy from outside and soft from inside and it is so flavorful and best had with green chutney and masala chai.
Handvo is one of my favourite Gujarati savoury dish and I used to cook this quite often almost every other fortnight.So as I take a bite of this beautiful crunchy hand on fully loaded with veggies..I am filled with warmth & happiness about the fact that only simple things actually do permeate your soul ..........Here is how you can create magic in your kitchen and feel happy...............with much love from "Nia's mommy food trail "......
