Sooji or rava handvo takes less time to get prepared but it is as tasty as “Mixed Dal Handvo” which is a little time consuming to prepare.

Salt as per taste

Method:
1. Mix together sooji, curd, bottle gourd and salt.




2. In a small pan heat oil.
3. Add mustard seeds. Let them splutter. After that add cumin seeds and green chillies and fry for a few seconds.
4. Add the curry leaves and then red chilly powder, coriander powder and turmeric powder.
5. Pour this tadka into the sooji batter. Cover it for few minutes. After that add sugar and ginger paste and mix well.

10. Take a small batch of batter into another bowl and add ½ tsp of fruit salt or eno.



11. Mix well. Pour this batter into the kadai.



12. Keep the flame low- medium.
13. Cover with lid and let the handvo cook.
14. After 8-10 minutes open the lid and invert the handvo (it must have turned golden brown) and then again let it cook covered for another 8-9 minutes.
