Multigrain

Vegetable Handvo

: Crispy, Healthy Gujarati Bake

Multigrain Vegetable Handvo is a traditional Gujarati dish that reflects how everyday meals can be both filling and balanced. Made with a mix of lentils, rice, and millet flours, it carries a rustic texture that feels different from regular baked or pan-cooked dishes. This preparation has long been part of home kitchens where slow fermentation and seasonal vegetables shaped the flavour. This World Health Day recipe fits well into mindful eating habits. The mix of grains and lentils provides a steady source of energy, while vegetables like bottle gourd and carrot keep the dish light yet satisfying. The slight tang from fermentation adds depth without relying on heavy spices. This dish is worth trying because of the contrast in its texture. The outer layer turns crisp with sesame seeds, while the inside stays soft and slightly airy. It works as a complete meal on its own, especially when served warm, making it suitable for both everyday cooking and special health-focused menus.
