Moong Dhal Dhokla



We are entering the second of Blogging Marathon#48 and for this week I chose to showcase Nasta recipes.
Nasta refers to either breakfast or evening snack which is light and filling.Today's recipe is one such simple yet filling and nutritious,breakfast cum snack.
I have already shared the Khaman Dhokla here but this is a different one using moong dhal.
The moong dhal dhokla,I learned from one of my friend and the secret of getting nice and fluffy dhokla is the eno fruit salt.Off to the recipe..............................................




                                                                        
                                                               Moong Dhal Dhokla

  Ingredient




Ingredient
Quantity
Moong dhal/paasi parupuu
1/2 cup
Channa dhal/kadala paruppu
2 tbs
Green chilly/pacha milagai
2
Ginger/inji
1/2 inch piece
Salt
1 tsp
Eno fruit salt
1 tsp

Yogurt/thayir/curd

Sugar/sakkarai
2 tsp

  For the tempering

Ingredient
Quantity
Mustard seeds/kadugu
3/4 tsp
Sesame seeds/yellu
1 tsp
Asafoetida/perungayam
a pinch
Oil
2 tsp

  Method 
  • Soak the  moong dhal with enough water for 2-3 hours.Drain the excess water and grind it to a coarse paste with ginger,green chilly and salt.Take this ground paste in a bowl and to this add the yogurt.

  • Mix it well.Grease a flat,deep dish with oil and heat the steamer with water.Now add the eno fruit salt to the batter and mix it well.The mixture will be frothy now.

  • Transfer the batter to greased plate and steam till a tooth pick comes out clean.Meanwhile heat the oil and do the tempering and keep it aside.Mix the sugar with 2 tbs of water and add it to the tempering after it comes to the room temperature.
  • Once the dhokla is cooked perfectly,invert the dhokla plate on a plate or chopping board,let it cool down for couple of minutes.
  • Cut the dhoklas into desired shape and pour the seasoning mixture on top of the dhokla pieces.Garnish it with grated coconut,coriander leaves and sliced green chilly.

  • Serve it with mint chutney.


  • Don't keep the batter for a long time after adding the eno fruit salt,steam it right away to get a nice fluffy dhokla
  • Here I used slightly sour yogurt to get a nice tangy taste.
  • If the yogurt is too thick add little more water to adjust the consistency.
  • Do not add more water for grinding the moong dhal and grind it to a bit coarse paste.


Enjoy.............................................................

Rava Kozhukattai/Rava Pidi kozhukattai

For the alphabet R,I decided to make something with rava aka semolina.But I have blogged most of the  rava recipes  in Tamil cuisine. When I was going through the cook books and hand written recipes,rava kozhukattai caught my attention. The method of making this kozhukattai is same as  upma kozhukattai ,whereas rava/semolina is used instead of rice.Both sweet and savory versions can be made with semolina.As we had lot of sweet dishes in the previous week I made the savory version.Soon share the sweet version.This is a great option for evening snack and I served with coconut chutney.Lets move on to the  recipe............                                                                                          ...

Paasiparuppu Dosa/Yellow Moong Dhal Dosa

For the 5th day under instant dosa varieties in Cooking Carnival is a protein rich dosa with moong dhal. This dosa can be called as vegetarian omlette as the taste resembles egg omlette.This dosa can be spread into a thin crepe or like uthappam/pancake.Either way it tastes good. The dhal gets soaked in less than an hour,once the batter is ready the dosa can be made.Grated veggies or some greens can be added to make it more healthy. Today I used,chopped onion and coriander leaves.Spicy tomato chutney or coriander chutney pairs very well with this dosa.Lets move on to the recipe............                                                                                                    ...
