Moong Dal Dhokla

Moong Dal Dhokla - Sobha P Shenoi

Ingredients:

500 g split moong dal
half bunch fenugreek leaves 
salt
2 tsp sugar
3 tsp ginger-chilli paste
2 lemons
oil
3 tsp Eno
2 tsp mustard seeds
few curry leaves
10-12 round red chillies

Method:

Soak the moong dal for 6-8 hours in warm water. Then wash the dal under running water and remove the skin from the dal (it automatically separates during the process of washing).
After this, grind the dal in the mixer. To this, add the fenugreek leaves (washed and finely chopped). Add salt, ginger-chilli paste, lemon juice, sugar to the mixture. Keep the mixture aside.
Put water to boil in a large vessel. Take a thali and apply oil on it. To the mixture, add Eno (this has to be done just before pouring in the thali) and pour the mixture into the thali and steam till the dhokla is done. Cut into pieces. Make more dhoklas in the same method.

For the tempering:

Heat oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, round red chillies and pour over the cut dhokla. Garnish with coriander leaves and fresh coconut. 
Serve hot with chutney.
