Gujarati Handwa Recipe Video

Recenlty my cousin was on a trip to Bhuj in Gujarat and was remarking how everything tasted sweet there. I recently tasted a Gujarati dish called Handva which was a baked dish garnished with sesame seeds. This isusually served as a snack in Gujarati cuisine.

Unlike other dishes, this one is not so sweet, but it isn’t spicy either. Curd being the main ingredient along with rice, it tastes a bit sour and has a nice fluffy texture.
