The Tawa Handvo is a nutritious protein packed meal is one of the most popular Gujarati one-dish meals and in this recipe we have made it simple and yet packed with flavour with the addition of the a high quality hing.
Traditionally the handvo is cooked in an earthen pot over low flame but due to conveniences in modern cooking techniques, families use ovens to bake them or use a skillet to pan cook them. I personally prefer the tawa (skillet) method, as it feels lighter to eat and has crispy edges giving it the additional taste to the palate.
Many families like mine love to add the juices from Gor Keri pickle into the batter to give a sweet and spicy taste and flavor to the finished dish. Serve Tawa Handvo lentil skillet pancakes along with Gor Keri pickle or with Gor (jaggery) and homemade butter for breakfast or a weeknight dinner.
Did you know: Asafoetida has lot of medicinal value. According to ayurvedic medicine, it is used for breathing problems including chronic bronchitis and asthma. It is also used for digestion problems including intestinal gas, upset stomach, irritable bowel syndrome and so much more.
And hence ensuring that we use a good quality hing (SSP Asafoetida) is extremely essential. The good part about SSP Asafoetida is that it has no Arabic gum and hence it has strong intense flavors, thereby using just a pinch would be just perfect for a dish.
