103. HANDVO from Sufaija Zainuddeen
- 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
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 teaspoon asafetida
1/2 cup yogurt
2 tablespoon oil
1 cup laucki shredded (opo squash, bottlegourd, doodhi)
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Eno fruit salt
For Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1/8 teaspoon asafetida
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Also need
- 2 teaspoon oil to grease the baking pan
- 8×8 baking pan, for this recipe I prefer glass baking pan
Method
- 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.

105.Mutta Adukku by Farisha TP
Ingredient
For batter:
Maida -2 cups
Egg -5
Milk – 1cup
Salt – as required
For masala:
You can use samosa filling or any other masala. Here I used chicken masala.
Chicken breast -2
Onion -1 chopped
Ginger- garlic paste – 1tsp
Garam masala- ½ tsp
Green Chilly- 1 (finely chopped)
Turmeric powder -1/4 tsp
Salt & pepper
Oil
Coriander leaf
ginger&garlic paste-1 tsp
Method:
Cook the chicken breast with salt and pepper and shred. Heat oil in a pan and saute ginger garlic paste. when the raw smell goes add onion, green chillies and sauté well until it change the colour. Now add all masala powders and then chicken pieces. Mix well and add coriander leaf.
In a bowl add maida, milk, beated egg and salt and make it as dosa batter (if required add more milk). Heat dosa tawa and brush some ghee on it. Pour dosa batter, it should not be too thin. When it is half cooked put masala on one half of the dosa, and cover it with other half. Press the ends carefully. Apply ghee in the remaining side of the tawa and pour the batter from the center of the cooked dosa to the remaining side. Now when it is half cooked, put masala on that side and carefully turn the dosa (already cooked half). Again apply ghee in the blank side of tawa and repeat the above procedure. You can prepare lots of layers, it is up to you. Serve it hot.
