Ingredients

1 Cup unhulled split green moong dal

3 Green chillies (crushed)

1/2 inch ginger (crushed)

Eno as desired

1 lime OR Juice of one lime (fresh)

Chopped Coriander to Garnish

Curds for soaking the dal

Salt to taste

If you wish to do the traditional Garnish:

1 tbspn of Oil (olive or regular)

1 tspn mustard seeds

1 tspn cumin seeds

2 dry red chillies (whole)

1 tbspn freshly grated cocnut

Chopped coriander

A dhokla stand

If for some reason you are unable to get a dhokla stand or cannot follow how to make one at home, you can get an idli stand.

So the dhoklas will then be round instead of square.

Directions

Please note if you like it spicy you can add more green chillies or take out a few. Depends on your taste.

In a bowl put the split moong dal and enough curds to soak it (about a cup or little more)

Stir the curds and the dal leave to soak for 15-20 mins

Pour in the mixer and blitz it, until its a coarse batter

Meanwhile, on the stove take a vessel with some water at the bottom, (like how you would prepare for boiled vegetables) a stand on the top, to place the dish on)

Take the batter in a bowl and to this add the crushed chillies, ginger and salt to taste and mix it in thoroughly

Take a deep dish (like a half inch dept), oil the bottom of the dish

OR IF YOU ARE USING THE IDLI STAND

Oil each round of the idli stand and then pour in the batter

Take a small bowl, in this add a little of the batter, a pinch of eno and some lime juice. Mix well and pour it in the oiled dish

Put this dish in to steam,covered at the top

The steam time should be around 5-7 mins

Do step 10 for every time you put the batter to steam

Like you would with a cake, put in a knife and pull out to see it is done, or else leave it on for a bit more

Once done, place upside down at an angle to cool

Cut into pieces and serve with freshly chopped coriander
