Moong dal or 'mag na' dhokla is amongst the favourite breakfast choices of Gujaratis. Not only are these dhoklas very simple to prepare, they can also be made well in advance.

Ingredients like curds, ginger-green chilli paste and spice powders give these dhoklas a fascinating flavour. To enhance the flavour and nutritive value of the Mag na Dhokla, add some grated carrots or ground peas to the batter.

These dhoklas are really very soft when compared to other dhoklas as it contains only moong and no flours. You just need to make sure the moong batter is coarse and not smooth. Serve these tasty dhoklas with low-calorie green chutney.

Can this be made without fruit salt, by fermenting the batter? if so, for how long should the batter be fermented?

Tarla Dalal    Hi Geetha, The batter doesn''t require any fermenting. We add fruit salt to make the dhoklas soft. If you skip it, your dhokla won''t turn out spongy.

Simple and easy to make.. and of course makes use of basic ingredients... not absolutely soft like yellow dhokla but tastes great with green chutney... I make it for breakfast quite often now...
