green peas dhokla are easy and delicious dhoklas that are made nutritious by the addition of green peas, which are full of fibre and also impart a nice green colour.

The batter of matar dhokla is made with the besan, green peas purée, salt, powdered sugar, ginger- green chilli paste, citric acid-water mixture and water. It is poured into a greased thali and steamed in a steamer till done. Finally, a tempering of mustard seeds, green chillies and asafoetida in oil is poured over the dhokla. Garnishing the green dhokla with coriander and coconut gives a truly traditional touch.

Besan is a versatile ingredient that is used to make most farsaans. Here it is used to thicken the batter in green peas dhokla . Citric acid crystals are added to this Gujarati snack recipe to impart the required tanginess to this dhokla. You can use lemon juice instead if you wish to.

Remember to use your hands to mix the batter, else the lumps won’t break and won’t cook well too.

Serve green peas dhokla immediately with green chutney.
