Recipe- Healthy For Breakfast Moong Dal Dhokla

Dhokla is the best snack to serve kids whenever they are hungry. They can have it as breakfast, evening snack, or even as dinner in my house. They can take it in their lunch box also. My kids love to have suji dhokla in their lunch box. This is a very healthy recipe especially for kids who are not very fond of having dal.

Ingredients

1 cup Moong dhuli dal
1-2 green chilies
1 tsp ginger
1 tsp sugar
¼ tsp turmeric powder/Haldi
a pinch asafoetida/heeng
¼ tsp red chili powder
salt to taste
1 tsp oil
1 tsp Eno fruit salt

For Tempering

1 tbsp oil
a pinch asafoetida/heeng
1 tsp rai/mustard seeds
1 tsp til/sesame seeds
2 green chilies cut lengthwise

Method

- Wash and soak moong dal for at least 3-4 hours.

- Blend the soaked dal in the blender with green chilies and ginger.
