Handvo (Gujarati: હાંડવો) is a savory vegetable cake originating from Gujarat, India.[1][2] It is a part of the Gujarati cuisine. It is often made with a bottle gourd filling, though many other vegetables can be added.[3] Sometimes crushed peanuts are also added.
Preparation[]
Handvo batter is made by mixing rice and various lentils, which are rinsed, dried, and then ground. The pulses are mixed with yogurt to prepare a fermented batter.[4] The batter is mixed with yogurt and spices and is then steamed.[5]
Variations[]
Handvo can be made with moong dal (split yellow gram) or chola dal (split cow peas) instead of rice.[2] Vegetable handvo is a variety based on gram flour and contains vegetables like peas, cabbage, and also includes garam masala. It is often eaten along with pickle or tea.[6]
