Instant Suji Handvo: A Quick and Crispy Gujarati Snack
The Instant Suji Handvo is a quick, healthy, and utterly delicious take on the popular Gujarati savory cake. This recipe is an easy version, allowing you to prepare this delightful snack in minutes. Made with semolina (rava / sooji), curd (dahi), and a host of nutrients packed mixed vegetables, it's an excellent option for breakfast or a satisfying snack. The resulting crispy suji handva is characterized by being crispy on the outside and soft inside, with a unique flavor that is sure to please your entire family.
Preparing the Handvo Batter Base
The simplicity of this instant suji handvo starts with its base. In a mixing bowl, combine the rava and curd, along with ½ cup of water. Mix these ingredients well to form a thick batter. It's important to set this mixture aside and let it rest for a crucial 5 minutes. This short resting period allows the rava to soak up the moisture from the curd and water, ensuring the final handvo has a tender texture.
Loading the Batter with Vegetables and Flavor
Once the rava has rested, it's time to add the flavor and nutritional punch. The recipe calls for a variety of finely prepared vegetables, including chopped and boiled mixed vegetables, grated beetroot, grated carrot, and grated bottle gourd (doodhi / lauki). These not only add color but also make this a very wholesome dish. Introduce the spices and aromatics: ginger-garlic paste, finely chopped green chillies, finely chopped coriander (dhania), a little sugar, and salt to taste. Mix all these ingredients well into the rava batter.
The Crucial Step with Fruit Salt
The secret to making this an instant and light handvo lies in the addition of fruit salt (Eno). Just before you are ready to cook, add the fruit salt to the batter. Immediately pour the remaining ¼ cup of water over the fruit salt to activate it, and mix gently. Do not overmix the batter once the fruit salt is added; this will ensure the handvo rises properly and stays light and fluffy inside.
Cooking the Vegetable Rava Handva in Kadhai
This method demonstrates how to cook the vegetable rava handva in kadhai, making it accessible even without an oven. Start by heating 2 tsp oil in a kadhai. For the tempering, add the mustard seeds (rai / sarson), sesame seeds (til), and curry leaves (kadi patta). Once the seeds crackle, pour the handvo batter into the kadhai. Cover the kadhai with a lid and cook on a medium flame for 3 to 4 minutes on one side. Then, flip the handvo and cook it on the other side until it achieves a beautiful golden brown and crisp exterior.
Serving the Crispy Suji Handva
The finished instant suji handvo is meant to be enjoyed immediately while it is still hot. The contrasting texture of the crispy suji handva on the outside and the soft, vegetable-laden center makes for a delightful experience. Serve it with green chutney for a complete and traditional Gujarati snack experience. This simple, quick, and nutritious recipe is an absolute winner for any meal of the day.
Tips to make instant suji handva: 1. Use fresh curd to make this recipe. 2. We suggest you to serve it immediately or else it may become chewy later. 3. Instead of eno fruit salt you can add baking soda.

Hi Nirali, The greasing of the dish with oil helps in easy removal of Handvo after microwaving.
