It’s time for winding up the ‘Ahlan Ramadan-the Healthy Way‘ event. We had a wonderful time hosting this event & giveaway. Inspite of all our busy schedules, we managed to handle this event quite nicely. Thank you Rafeeda and Hasna for being such wonderful co-hosts.
We did receive 112 entries from bloggers and 6 from non-bloggers. Recipes are so good and I kept staring on all the pictures while I was working on the round-up . Thank you all who took few minutes from your busy schedule to link in recipes and make this event a big success! We couldn’t include a few recipes in this round-up as some blogs do not have option to save their pictures and we didn’t receive any reply for our messages also.

- Eggs,hard boiled and cut lengthwise- 5 nos
- Egg white,lightly beaten-2 nos
- Oil- for shallow frying
For coconut chutney:
- Grated coconut – 1 cup
- Green chilies-3 to 4 nos( according to taste)
- Ginger-1/2″ piece
- Garlic- 3 cloves
- Curry leaves-1 sprig
- Coriander leaves,chopped-2 or 3 tbsp
- Lemon juice- 1 tsp
- Salt-to taste
Instructions:
Combine all the ingredients listed under ‘ For coconut chutney’ in a blender and grind to a paste.
Cover each egg piece with the prepared chutney.(over the cut surface.)
Evenly dip this in egg white and shallow fry carefully.
Serve with tomato sauce.
- 1 cup rice
- 1/4 cup chana dal
- 1/4 cup urad dal split with skin
- 1/4 cup toor dal
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- About 1 inch piece ginger chopped
- 1-2 green chili adjust to taste
- 1-3/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon asafetida
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 teaspoon oil to grease the baking pan
- 8×8 baking pan, for this recipe I prefer glass baking pan
- Wash and soak rice, chana dal, toor dal, and urad dal in about four cups of water for at least four hours.
- Drain the water and blend soaked rice, lentil, ginger, green chili to lightly coarse texture, (try not to use any water). I prefer to use food processor, add yogurt, turmeric, salt, sugar and asafetida, blend it again for few more seconds. Transfer the dal mix into a bowl and let the mix ferment for about 10 to 12 hours.
- Add the opo squash, 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon juice to the fermented dal mix and mix it well. Add ENO to the mixture and mix, this will make the handvo mix light and fluffy.
- Grease the 8×8 baking pan generously and pour the handvo mix into the greased pan. Tap the pan; it will help spreading the mix evenly.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the handvo batter.
- Heat the oil for seasoning in a small pan over medium heat, after oil is moderately hot add the mustard seeds and asafetida as mustard seeds crack, turn off the heat.
- Drizzle the seasoning over the top of the sesame seeds.
- Cover the pan with aluminum foil and place the pan on middle oven rack and bake at 350 degree F, preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes until top of the handvo is light golden brown or until knife inserted in center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let the handvo cool off for about 15 minutes. Cut them in sixteen pieces. Handvo is ready to serve.
