Thank you once again for your delectable recipes. Love your step by step pics. Wish I could eat it with chai! I love Hondwo but avoid making it because the recipes I have require 3/4 to 1 cup of oil. Many thanks once again!
love the way u incorporate the new veg into traditional dishes!

Looks great.. I've only heard about this great dish... A dumb question here (I'm a newbie baker, IYKWIM)...
Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 200 degree centigrade, and 30 minutes at 180 degrees centigrade.
So, I have to bake it first for 15 mins at 200 C and then again for 30 mins at 180C ?
Or, is it either bake at 200C for 15 mins OR at 180 C for 30 mins?
sorry it is confusing, I mean bake for 45 minutes, 15 minutes at 200 and 30 mins at 180
The recipe looks good and i can't wait to try it, do i preheat the oven first then choose which gas mark i want to cook at with the as my friend reads it as 45 minutes plus 30 minutes.
you heat the oven before you start the mix.
200 degrees c, bake for 15 mins
than turn the heat down to 180 degree and bake for a further 30 minutes
i love hondwo and am surprised there is no oil required for this recipe. please confirm the only oil needed is when you are frying the seeds?
Great website! Have to input that you can use peeled shredded Dudhi (bottle gourd), and/or frozen mixed vegetables thawed a bit (I prefer just the Dudhi and if you can't find Dudhi, you can also use peeled shredded zucchini) but most veggies will work in this batter, have fun and experiment!
Thanks for that Anon
Hi, quick question for you. The daals that you list, are these the whole daals, or split ones? Thanks.
dals are split. good luck
Thank you, will let you know how it goes once I make them.
Thank you so much for posting this recipe. I haven't had hondvo in years and it fills my heart with joy to think I can try and make my own. I 'lost' a lot of recipes since my Mum has been sick...she can't pass those African golden oldies down to me. So this website actually is a goldmine for me. God bless.

Great recipe but need clarification. Is there no oil in this recipe other than the oil used when you are frying the seeds? Please confirm. Thanks in advance

That is correct, only oil is the one used for frying the sesame seeds
Can you steam this in pressure cooker (like dhokla) if oven is not available? This is a great recipe, but I have no oven.
