what's for dinner tonight ?

Isn't that what your little one ask and very rarely you get a nice response back !
Every night same question and never ending query. Does everyone feels that or is it just me ?
This is the recipe for chola daal dhokla. Dhokla is a very common Gujarati snack but when made with nutritious daal like chola daal makes it a meal some for kids. I found this recipe a very long time ago when i moved here in US, missed my home and mom a lot and the way she cooked Dhokla. Fortunately i found something similar @ a cooking website and here is something similar from my old notes.


Ingredients


1/2 cup chola daal, soaked overnight and drained
1/2 cup chopped spinach
1/2 cup chopped fenugreek


2 tsp ginger and green chili paste
1/4 tsp asafoetida
1 tsp eno (fruit salt)/baking powder
Salt to taste
1/4 tsp oil for greasing

Method

1. Combine the chola daal, spinach, fenugreek leaves and ginger green chilli paste and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste, using enough water.
2. Add asafoetida and salt and mix well.
3. Just before steaming, sprinkle the fruit salt over it.
4. When the bubbles form, mix gently and pour spoonfuls of batter immediately into the greased idli /muffin molds.
5. Steam for 15 to 20 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked.
6. Let it cool and serve immediately garnished with shredded coconut.

Enjoy. Will be back tomorrow with more.
