Mund Daal Dhokla

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup Mung Daal with skin (Green)

1/4 cup Urad Daal

1/2 cup Yogurt

1 tsp Ginger-Garlic paste

1/2 tsp Fruit Salt (Eno)

Salt, to taste

For Tadka--

3 tsp Cooking oil

1/2 tsp Mustard seeds

1/2 tsp Cumin seeds

1/4 tsp Sesame seeds

For Garnish--

2-3 tsp Chopped coriander

METHOD:

- Soak mung daal and urad dal in water for around 1-2 hours. 

- Drain water and then grind it to make a batter by adding water gradually as required.

- Transfer it to a big bowl and add yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, green chillies into it.

- Mix well and make a smooth batter. 

- Add fruit salt into it and whisk it for a while, which will help making a batter fluffy.

- Grease a steamer plate or big thaali with 2-3 drops of oil.

- Pour this mixture in it and spread it evenly. 

- Steam it* for around 20-25 mins on medium-high flame.

- Then, let the plate rest for 10 mins and cut into a diamond shape. 

- Heat oil in tadka-pan and add mustar, cumin seeds. When it stops crackling, add sesame seeds and immediately pour this mixture on dhokla pieces. 

- Garnish with chopped coriander and serve it anytime :)

SJ's NOTE:

* Usually, a steamer is used for this dish! But alternatively, boil 4-5 cups of water in a big broad-pan. Keep something flat as a base to support and arrange a thaali (with dhokla batter) on it! 

- This dhokla tastes yummy with a pinch of 'pickle masala' mixed in oil!!! :)
