Sprouts Dhokla
Once a Gujarati staple, steamed and low cal dhoklas are universally popular these days! They make a particularly wholesome and light breakfast. Add sprouted moong and spinach to add colour and make them more nourishing.
Preparation Time: 10 minutes. Cooking Time: 12 minutes. Makes 12 pieces.
1 cup sprouted moong (whole green gram)
½ cup finely chopped spinach (palak)
3 green chillies, roughly chopped
Salt to taste
2 tbsp besan (Bengal gram flour)
1 tsp fruit salt
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp sesame seeds (til)
½ tsp asafoetida (hing)
3 to 4 curry leaves (kadi patta)
1 tsp finely chopped green chillies
Oil for greasing
For serving
Green chutney
1. Combine the sprouted moong, spinach and green chillies and blend in a mixer using a little water to a smooth paste.
2. Transfer the paste into a bowl, add the salt, besan along with ¼ cup water and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency.
3. Just before steaming, add the fruit salt and 2 tsp of water over the batter.
4. When the bubbles form, mix gently.
5. Pour the batter into a greased 175 mm. (7") diameter thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread the batter in an even layer.
6. Steam in a steamer for 10 to 12 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked.
7. Heat the oil in a small non-stick pan and add the sesame seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for few seconds.
8. Pour this tempering over the dhoklas, cool slightly and cut into equal diamond shaped pieces.
Serve immediately with green chutney.
Handy tip : Cool the dhoklas just for about 30 seconds, so that they can be easily cut into pieces.
