Tawa Handvo | How to make Mixed Vegetable Tawa Handvo

Tawa Handvo is a Gujarati Special Dish made with rice and lentils. It can be referred to as Savory Rice Lentil Cake, made healthy by including vegetables in it.

This handvo can be cooked in different ways, like tawa, baked, and the latest would be the Insta Pot methods. I will be sharing how I made Tawa Handvo with mixed vegetables in the cake.
