I am giving the traditional Gujarati Handvo a brand new, super healthy, and nutritional avatar! By swapping out regular white rice or suji for complex carbs and protein-rich whole ingredients, I have turned this classic snack into an absolute powerhouse breakfast.

Nutritional Value (Per Serving):
* Protein: ~15g
* Fiber: ~6.5g
* Carbohydrates: Complex, slow-releasing carbs from whole grains
* Micronutrients: Rich in Calcium, Iron, and Magnesium
Why I Curated This Recipe:
A. Clean Plant Protein: I used Moong and Kala Chana to give you up to 15g of vegetarian protein per serving, keeping you full and fueled for hours.
B. Millet Goodness (Ragi Atta): I added Ragi because it is rich in calcium, iron, and dietary fibre, making it excellent for bone health, steady energy levels, and great digestion.
C. Fibre & Vitamin Boost: My vibrant mix of fresh veggies ensures you get a wonderful dose of essential micronutrients and antioxidants.
D. Gut Friendly: I mixed it with sour curd to aid metabolism and make it incredibly light and easy on the stomach.
