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
  1. Please note if you like it spicy you can add more green chillies or take out a few. Depends on your taste.
  2. In a bowl put the split moong dal and enough curds to soak it (about a cup or little more)
  3. Stir the curds and the dal leave to soak for 15-20 mins
  4. Pour in the mixer and blitz it, until its a coarse batter
  5. 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)
  6. Take the batter in a bowl and to this add the crushed chillies, ginger and salt to taste and mix it in thoroughly
  7. Take a deep dish (like a half inch dept), oil the bottom of the dish
  8. OR IF YOU ARE USING THE IDLI STAND
  9. Oil each round of the idli stand and then pour in the batter
  10. 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
  11. Put this dish in to steam,covered at the top
  12. The steam time should be around 5-7 mins
  13. Do step 10 for every time you put the batter to steam
  14. 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
  15. Once done, place upside down at an angle to cool
  16. Cut into pieces and serve with freshly chopped coriander
  17. ********* FOR THE TRADITIONAL GARNISH *********
  18. Once the dish is out of steaming and cooling
  19. Take a small wok, put in a tbspn of oil
  20. Once the oil is hot enough, add the cumin seeds, mustard seeds, dry whole red chillies
  21. Let it crackle (make sure it does not burn)
  22. Pour over the steamed dhokla whilst they are in the dish
  23. Cut and serve with freshly chopped corriander and grated coconut
  24. For best taste, serve with green chutney or mint chutney
