Handvo is a traditional Gujarati savoury cake that requires 8 – 10 hours of fermentation. Here I am sharing Instant Farali Handvo recipe, a quick and easy recipe you can prepare during fasting days like Shravan, Navratri, etc. You can make this Handvo with one of the three cooking methods; 1. baking in a Handvo Cooker 2. baking in Oven 3. using a pan. In this recipe, I have made it in a pan on Tawa which requires 15 – 20 minutes of cooking time. Moraiyo/Sama Ke Chawal and Sabudana used as essential ingredients which consumed during Vrat/Upvas.
The batter for Farali Handvo is different from Upvas Idli & Dhokla Recipe I have shared on my channel. You can also add vegetables like Bottle Gourd (Lauki) & Carrot (Gajar) in making this Handvo, but I have cooked it without any vegetables.
