Mug Dhokla

Dhokla is a vegetarian dish which is belongs to Gujarat but very popular in other states too. Classic Dhokla is made with a fermented batter made from rice and split chickpeas.

But this is 5 minutes microwave instant Dhokla recipe.

I love this recipe. It’s soft, spongy and is extremely flavorful. A mouth-watering, nutritious and irresistible Gujarati snack that’s actually healthy, nutritious, gluten-free.

1 cup Besan

1/2 cup Curd

2 tsp. Suji

1 tsp. Chilli ginger paste

Pinch of Sugar( optional)

Salt to taste

1/2 tsp. Fruit salt ( eno)

Tempering:

1/2 – 1 tsp. oil

A pinch of asafetida

1/4 tsp. mustard seeds

4-5 curry leaves

1 tbsp grated coconut (fresh is better)

1 tbsp. water

Method
