Maharashtrian ghavan is like a no fermentation rice dosa. It is also known as Maharashtrian Amboli. Learn how to make quick chawal ka atta ghavan.

The Maharashtrian ghavan is a unique pancake made of a quick and easy rice flour batter. It takes just a few minutes to mix the ingredients into a batter and there is no need to ferment either.

The secret to getting the perfectly-textured quick chawal ka atta ghavan lies in the consistency of the batter, which must not be very thin or thick.

If you get the batter of a proper dropping consistency, you will get nice and spongy ghavans.

Serve rice flour Maharashtrian ghavan hot, because rice flour tends to get chewy over time.

We have Maharashtrian ghavan with coconut chutney or green chutney.

Who is this uneducated, horrid nutritionist who is devaluating such a rich food source, based on their half-assed knowledge of food, health or any inkling of science? Amboli peeth is made out of mix of 4-5 different grains (rice, poha, urad dal) with methi seeds and is one of the best alternatives to rotis/parathas, giving you diversity in your gut, and providing essential carbs and fats.

Dear Dr. Naina This recipe of Amboli is made with rice flour and hence suggested as not the most healthiest option as it is full of carbs. The recipe mentioned by you which makes use of whole rice with urad dal, poha and methi seeds and set aside to ferment is definitely a healthier option than this recipe.

Could you also specify serving size in your calorie count? The size of these ambolis varries with every household.. so it might be more helpful to tell us the serving size in grams just to standardize the calorie count to a certain extent. Thanks!

Just tried amboli with Gravy vegetable last night. I was in no mood to make parathas and do rolling. Amboli tasted so good with my gravy vegetable and is light on stomach too. Its fun to eat it hot and instant to make too.

This is not Amboli, this is a ghavna. Amboli is made up of chana, urad and rice flour. Pls make the corrections.
