Handvo is a popular Gujarati snack. Traditionally handvo recipe is prepared from fermented batter by soaking dal and rice, but in this recipe, I prepared instant handvo with rava and regular spices. Also, I prepared handva into regular Kadai and lots of vegetables and special tadka to make it healthy and tasty. So without any planning, it can be made quickly and served with your favorite chutney for breakfast and dinner. Do try this!
The key to making Instant rava handvo at home are
- Firstly, use sour buttermilk or curd to prepare handva batter. also spreading a little amount of sour curd on the prepared batter helps to fasten the fermentation process.
- Consistency of handva batter should be thick and pouring, also whisk the batter well so air particles incorporate in it and hanvo become soft.
- I use different types of vegetables to make handvo healthy and nutritious. adding different types of vegetables is your choice and you can experiment as you wish. However, you may need to finely chop it so that it gets cooked easily.
- Cook handva for 12-15 min on low-medium flame or till it becomes crispy from both sides.
- Lastly, handva tastes great when prepared slightly spicy.
