De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

  1. 1

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, chickpea flour, and semolina.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  2. 2

    Add the dairy-free yogurt, grated ginger, chopped green chili, turmeric powder, asafoetida, sugar, and salt to the flour mixture.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  3. 3

    Gradually add water, mixing well to form a thick, smooth batter without lumps.

    Ongeveer 3 min

    Tip van de kok: The batter should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.

  4. 4

    Stir in the grated bottle gourd, grated carrot, and chopped spinach into the batter.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  5. 5

    Cover the bowl and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, at room temperature.

    Ongeveer 30 min

    Tip van de kok: This resting period allows the semolina to soften and the flavors to meld.

  6. 6

    Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

    Ongeveer 10 min

  7. 7

    Grease a 20cm (8-inch) round baking pan or an equivalent-sized rectangular pan.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  8. 8

    Just before baking, add the baking soda and lemon juice to the batter.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: The lemon juice activates the baking soda, creating air bubbles for a fluffy texture.

  9. 9

    Mix gently until just combined; do not overmix.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  10. 10

    Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  11. 11

    For the tempering, heat the vegetable oil in a small pan over medium heat.

    Ongeveer 2 min

  12. 12

    Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  13. 13

    Stir in the sesame seeds and curry leaves and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

    Ongeveer 1 min

  14. 14

    Pour the hot tempering mixture evenly over the top of the handvo batter in the baking pan.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: This creates a delicious, crispy crust.

  15. 15

    Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean and the top is golden brown.

    Ongeveer 45 min

    Tip van de kok: Baking time may vary depending on your oven and pan size.

  16. 16

    Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

    Ongeveer 15 min

    Tip van de kok: Cooling helps the handvo set and makes it easier to cut.

  17. 17

    Slice into squares or wedges and serve warm with green chutney or ketchup.

Goed bewaren
