Moong dal dhokla, is rich in zinc, folic acid, iron and proteins. Adding methi leaves further increases the fibre, folic acid and iron content substantially. This suavely flavoured, zero-oil, popular gujarati farsaan is great for people who are counting their calories. Devour this any-time snack with green chutney, page…, for that extra zing.

1 1/2 tbsp low-fat curds
of asafoetida (hing)
1/4 tsp sugar (optional)
salt to taste
2 tsp fruit salt

Drain the dal, add the green chillies and a little water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
Transfer the mixture to a bowl, add the besan, cabbage, carrots,curds, asafoetida, sugar and salt, mix well and divide it into 2 equal portions.
To one portion, add 1 tsp of fruit salt and add 2 tsp of water over it.
When the bubbles form, mix gently and pour immediately into a greased 175 mm. (7") diameter thali.
Shake the thali clockwise to spread the batter evenly.
Steam in a steamer for 10 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked.
Cool slightly and cut into square pieces.
Repeat with the remaining batter and other ingredients to make 1 more thali. Serve immediately.
