About Handvo

Handvo is a savory baked dish from Gujarati cuisine in India, known for its wholesome ingredients and satisfying flavor. It is traditionally made using a fermented batter of rice and lentils, combined with yogurt and spiced with ginger, green chilies, cumin, and turmeric. Vegetables like bottle gourd, carrots, and peas are often added for texture and nutrition. Handvo is typically pan-fried or baked with a crunchy tempering of mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and curry leaves. Rich in protein from lentils and fiber from vegetables, Handvo is a nutritious choice that supports digestion and sustained energy. However, the use of oil in tempering and frying can add to its caloric content, so mindful preparation is key for a healthier version. This versatile dish is enjoyed as a snack, breakfast, or light meal, making it a beloved part of Indian culinary tradition.
