Haliyali Handvo (sprouted Steamed Moong Handvo Rings)

Handvo is a popular Guajarati snack. This is a baked, spicy lentil cake made with rice flour and different lentils. The batter is fermented, mixed with spices and then is baked. I have given it a twist to make it easier, healthier and nutritious by steaming . I used soya bean flour, sprouted moong and gram flour instead of rice for batter. Try this nonfried –steamed wonderful, healthy Full-Proof Recipe.
