Easy recipe. I modified it and made dhoklas right after grinding the dal. Only added soda, did not add baking powder. You can also add spinach or cilantro in place of methi or add all 3 greens to make it more healthy.

Walnuts has so many high nutrient values in itself. This i learnt from Tarla Mam''s this article. Definitely will add at least small quantity in our daily morning diet. I tried making Date and Walnut Balls. taste greats.

Was tired of the basic white and khaman dhokla so, tried this wholesome chola methi dhokla. They taste superb!!

A very simple and interesting recipe of date walnut balls I made this morning, was finished by my both kids. They liked the balls very much. Best way to add such healthy nuts in their diet instead of giving them plain nuts to eat. Planning to make apple crumble and i am sure they will like this too. Even will try tomato walnut salad for my husband who is very much healthy conscious. Valuable information about walnut and recipes of dip, dressing, pudding etc to make with it.
