It is essentially a pan cooked savoury tid bit. It comes quiet handy when you do not know what to make for people travelling, it comes helpful when you have loads of guests visiting. It is hit with a super masala tea. Gujju's love their handvo. And it is a perfect balance of spicy and sweet. Needless to say i love it. Please don't be shocked to see the amount of oil that this takes, it is worth it. Gujarati families use the readymade handvo mix with kakra gahu ka loth [coarse wheat flour].
