White Scribbled Underline

Soak the yellow moong dal in enough water for 30 minutes. Drain well.

Combine the yellow moong dal and green chillies and blend in a mixer using ½ cup of water to make a paste of pouring consistency.

Transfer the paste to a bowl, add the salt, sugar, asafoetida, oil, turmeric powder, besan and curds and mix well to make a batter. Just before steaming, sprinkle fruit salt and mix lightly.

Pour the batter into a greased 7” diameter thali.

Steam in a steamer for 10 to 12 minutes or till the dhokala is cooked. Keep aside.

Heat the oil in a small non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds crackle, add the sesame seeds, asafoetida and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds.

Add the green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for 30 seconds. Pour the tempering over the prepared moong dal dhokla and spread it evenly.

Sprinkle the coriander and coconut evenly on top. Cut the moong dal dhokla into pieces and serve hot with green chutney.
