The coarseness should feel like fine semolina.The consistency of the batter should be such that when you use a ladle to pour it should fall in dollops. Stir in the salt and allow the mixture to ferment for 8 hours.Once fermented you will notice the dough has risen.  Gently stir in a tablespoon of oil to the batter. If your batter for some reason did not rise; stir 2 teaspoons of enos fruit salt into the batter and you will notice the air bubbles start popping out from the batter. Finally stir in the grated bottle gourd and turmeric. (This is the time you would stir in the other vegetables you would use)Heat one tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet (8 inches diameter) on medium high heat; add the mustard seeds, sesame seeds and curry leaves; allow them to crackle. Turn the heat to low and sprinkle the red chilli powder and asafoedita into the oil.Pour two ladles of batter into the pan and gently spread the batter evenly onto the pan. As you spread the batter the seasoning mixture will spread to the side; allow the seasoning to rest in places where it has spread as this gives a special crunchiness to the sides of the Handvo.Turn the heat low, drizzle a teaspoon of oil around the batter and cover the pan. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until the top feels cooked and steamed.Once you notice the top is cooked and there is no trace of raw batter, gently flip the Handvo with the help of a broad flat spatula to the opposite side and turn the heat to medium high.Allow it to turn golden brown and crisp. Flip over once again and allow the other side to brown and crisp slightly. Continue making similar cakes with the rest of the batter and serve hot.Serve Tawa Handvo lentil skillet pancakes along with Gor Keri pickle or with Gor (jaggery) and homemade butter for breakfast or a weeknight dinner.
