Mixed vegetable handvo, i made this instantly using fermented khatta dhokla batter; in fact any leftover batter can be used to make this handvo! i have added lots of vegetables as it tastes amazing this way. It is an ideal low-calorie, wholesome meal. Some like it with chutney and some along with tea. Try it once and i am sure it will become one of your favourite snacks.
