5. Add approx 1/4 Cup water and mix.
6. Cover the mixture and allow it to rest for 15-20 min.
7. After 10-15 min check the batter. It should fall in lumps and not free flowing. If required add more water.

9. Add Asafoetida (Hing) and Sesame Seeds and switch off flame for 2 min. Mix well.
10. Add Eno Fruit Salt in the batter and add 1 Tsp Water over it so that it gets activated!
11. Immediately mix the batter.
12. Spread the Handvo Batter in Pan evenly and then switch on flame on low.

14. After 10-12 min check the Handvo and if you run a spoon around its edges it will feel stiff.
15. Switch off the flame and put a plate on top of Pan. Using a oven mitten turn over the pan on the plate and take out Handvo in plate.
16. Switch on the Pan again and keep flame on low.
17. Add 1 Tbsp Oil.
18. Using a spatula slide the Handvo gently in to the Pan so that we can cook it on other side.
19. Lightly press the Handvo with Spatula, cover the Pan and cook for 10 min on low flame.
20. After 10 min check the Handvo. It should be cooked. Switch off the Pan and let it be in Pan for 5 min.
21. Take it out in Plate and cut in to desired pieces.
TIPS:
1. I have used plain rice. You can also take Salted rice/Khichdi instead!
2. You can also add Cabbage or Bottle Gourd (Dudhi).
3. Do not keep batter out for long after adding Eno!
