Spinach Handvo ( Spicy Lentil Cake)

Handvo is Gujarati traditonal savory cake. Handvo flour is soaked in yogurt for about 5-6 hours before making it. Handvo flour is easily available in Indian Grocery Stores.  It can be made with samolina also. Today I want to share you quick spinach handvo recipe. I just cheat myself from the long procedure of soaking dal and rice and take readymade flour of handvo. So let's get into the recipe...
