Sprouts, Spinach & Oats Handvo

Need a healthy breakfast idea without elaborate prep work and cooking time. Sprouts, Spinach & Oats Handvo comes to your rescue. All we basically do is throw all the ingredients together and blend them and them make pancakes. 

Its quick, doesn't require much prep work if you have sprouts on hand. The whole thing comes together in under 15 minutes. 

Let's see how:

INGREDIENTS:

Spinach - 1/4 cup, blanched

Oats - 3-4 tbsp, powdered

Green Mung Bean Sprouts - 1 cup

Boiled Sweet Corn Kernels - 3/4 cup

Green Chilies - 1-2, roughly chopped

Ginger - 1/2 inch, roughly chopped

Cumin Seeds - 1 tsp

Oil - as needed

Fruit Salt - 1 tbsp

Salt to taste

Sesame Seeds - 1 tbsp

Mustard Seeds - 1 tbsp

PROCEDURE:

1. Start off by heating a pan on medium heat. 

2. Blend together sprouts, ginger, green chilies, cumin seeds, spinach, salt and powdered oats. 

 3. Remove it into a big bowl. I didn't add any water as sprouts have a high water content and it helps crush the whole thing. The consistency is quite thick so I added a little water after removing it into the bowl. 

4. Next add vegetables of your choice. If I add too many vegetables my toddler picks on those and leaves the handvo. So I stick with just corn. But feel free to knock yourself out. Carrots, peas, all who go well with this. Mix well. 

5. You can make one big Handvo for the whole family but I make individual cakes. Take the portion you are going to cook in a separate bowl, if you plan to reserve some for later. In the bowl add fruit salt, give a light mix. 

6. In the heated pan, add some oil. Once the oil is hot sprinkle some mustard and sesame seeds. Let them crackle. Now pour in the mixture with fruit salt. 

 

7. This won't be a flat or thin pancake. Its thick. Once you pour the batter, lightly pat to spread but don't thin it out. 

 

8. Cover and cook on both sides for 5 mins each. It will take a little longer if you cook the whole batter as one big pancake. 

 

9. Serve hot with coriander mint chutney!
