Vegetable Handvo is a traditional Gujarati snack that’s both nutritious and satisfying. Made from fermented lentil-rice flour (handvo flour), yoghurt, and grated vegetables, it’s a complete meal in itself; rich in plant-based protein and fibre. The addition of lauki, peas, and corn gives it a soft, moist texture, while the sesame-mustard crust adds irresistible crunch and aroma.
