Green moong dal dhokla idli is a wholesome breakfast. This guilt-free breakfast is prepared by steaming method yet keeps you full for hours preventing hunger pangs as well as enrich you with essential proteins. Unlike rava or rice idlis, these are denser in texture
I regularly include green moong dal to my menu for its nutritive values and prepare different dishes like green moong dal dhokla, green moong dal soup, moong dal dosa or Pesarattu. All the preparations are delicious to eat
I have steamed these dhokla idlis in a microwave steamer with little water but it can be made in cooker idli moulds as well. To make them fluffy some eno salt is added to the batter. A tadka or tempering of some aromatics takes this dish to another level of taste
