Moong dal dhokla

Moong dal dhokla recipe with step by step pictures and procedures. Learn how to make Instant sponge savoury cake Moong dal Dhokla under 30 mins. This recipe is the fool proof recipe, never fail or never upset you anymoreWinking Once I decided to make dhokla I was surfing all the sites and finally got the idea how to make perfect dhokla. Dhokla is the Gujarati snack recipe with all nutritious and healthy ingredients.

This is my next Gujarati snack recipe. After posting khandvi recipe in Prema’s Culinary,  I have decided to post Moong dal Dhokla next immediately. As per my understanding, we can make dhokla using rava(semolina) also. I have soaked the moong dal overnight and then ground it into a smooth paste in a mixie.Then added the chopped green chillies, ginger, salt, sugar etc.. Instead, we can grind the dal with chillies and ginger also.I have chopped the chilly and ginger, added it. The texture of the batter is like ldly batter after adding the Eno salt. Eno salt is fruits salt. you can the details about the eno salt here. You can buy Eno salt online here.

I have added Eno salt or fruit salt, some recipe calls for baking soda also. But baking soda needs the soaking time.I prefer Eno salt which we can make dhokla immediately or instantly.

Moong dal dhokla recipe with step by step pictures and instructions:

moong dal dhokla recipe

Soak 1/2 cup moong dal with enough water for overnight, drain the water grind it. Add 1/4 cup water while grinding the batter. Either you can grind the green chillies and ginger while grinding or you can chop them finely and then add them to the batter. Add the 1 tsp of gram flour, turmeric powder, curd, and salt mix well. Add the Eno salt and mix well. After adding the Eno salt, you can see the batter become foaming like the idly batter.

Now immediately transfer the mix into a greased plate. Don’t delay after adding the salt you need to act very fast. Now keep the plate in a steamer and steam it for 10-15 mins. Once steamed you can slice it.Sponge Dhokla is ready now. Make seasoning for the dhokla by heating the oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds. Let it splutter. Add curry leaves, Hing and sesame seeds. Now switch off the stove. Drop this tempering over the steamed dhokla and serve hot.

    3. khaman dhokla(besan dhokla) Same the above step replace rava by besan flour.
    4. You can make dhokla in a microwave by keep the dhokla in an oven proof pan and then keep it for 5 mins, keep an eye on the oven.because it might burn.
    5. You can make dhokla in a pressure cooker, by keeping the dhokla plate in the cooker, below the plate drop little water and then pressure cook it. don’t put the weight the over lid.

    Is the gram flour only to enhance the taste ? I am allergic to gram flour and was thinking of substituting grated nuts
