About Green Dhokla: What makes this dish so unique?
The most special thing about this dhokla is its green colour! Usually the dhokla batter is made with gram flour, which makes it bright yellow in colour. But this dhokla is made with green moong, chillies and coriander and that is the secret of its distinct green colour. You can expect a soft and spongy texture just like the regular dhokla. The spicy tadka on it enhances its taste even more, making it a great option for dhokla lovers.
Is Green Dhokla healthy?
Absolutely! The main ingredient in this recipe is green moong, which is a great source of protein, making this dhokla super healthy. Moreover, the batter also contains semolina, which adds fibre and increases its nutritional value. Anything that is high in fibre or protein is quite nutritious and a great addition to a weight loss diet. So, go ahead and enjoy it without any guilt!
