Ghavan ghatla is a naivedyam recipe which is a combination of cucumber pancakes and sweet coconut sauce and is offered to goddess Gauri(mother of Lord Ganpati) during Gauri and Ganpati poojan.

GHAVAN / Cucumber Pancakes

The recipe of ghavan varies from household to household. An easy peasy recipe but very delicious at the same time. This is one of my favourite festive recipes.

Ghavan, a traditional Konkan delite are instant pancakes and don’t need fermentation. These cucumber pancakes are prepared using mature cucumber (Taushe / Tavshe) as we call it which are available in the monsoons and during the festive season of Ganesh Chaturthi. You can also use the shaded green cucumber for the same but not the pale ones.
