Handvo/Handwa - Gujarati Appetizer



Gujarati food, in particular the appetizers Khaman, Dhokla, Khandvi and Handvo are quite unique both in terms of cooking method as well as taste. After getting a really good recipe for Sooji Dhokla from my friend-Isha (which I have made zillion times with exceptional results each time), I was eager to try Khandvi and Handvo. Khandvi is perhaps the quickest (Stay tuned for a post on Khandvi!) while Handvo is the most time consuming.

Pecan Tart



Tarts are wonderful desserts and almost always I would pick a tart over a cake for dessert:) Joy of tart making is both in the pastry and the filling. Once you have your numbers right for the pastry, the whole new world of fillings open up to make fruit tart, chocolate tart, pecan tarts, cheese tart... the list is endless.
