Pucca traditional and perfect to the core, the Moong Dal Dhokla represents everything that dhoklas stand for – sumptuous, tasty and aromatic!
A wholesome batter of soaked and ground moong dal is complemented by ingredients like besan, curds and fruit salt to get the ideal texture and flavour. Topped off by an aromatic tempering, the Moong Dal Dhokla becomes a tongue-tickling snack, when matched with peppy green chutney.
I would like to share some tips to make the perfect no fermentation moong dal dhokla. 1. Add sugar to batter. Sugar is totally optional but, we want the moong dal dhokla to be like the Nylon khaman dhokla which are sweet hence, we are adding the sugar. 2. Add the asafoetida to the batter. Dals and pulses are a bit difficult to digest, hence a little addition of hing will help in aiding digestion. 3. Add the curd to the batter. We have used homemade curd which will make the yellow moong dal dhokla fluffy and spongy.
This traditional Gujarati Farsans can be enjoyed as a snack for Breakfast , High Tea Party or as an acompaniment to the main course.
