Moong dal dhokla is a healthy, protein-packed dish from Gujarat, India. Made with soaked and ground moong dal, this dish is light, fluffy, filling, and nutritious. It’s a popular snack and breakfast item and is often served with a side of chutney.
The soaked moong dal is ground into a batter with ginger, green chillies, and other spices to make moong dal dhokla. The batter is then steamed to create a fluffy, spongy texture. The dhokla is then cut into small pieces and garnished with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chillies.
