Hello there, Hope you are doing great! As every
family member is at home most of the time day and night which is actually need
for today to fight against Corona. For home makers, it must be question all the
time what to cook as there is not many options like going out or getting food from
outside. Feeding the family with healthy food is much needed to keep oneself
fit too. So, I am sharing a healthy snacks recipe today with protein packed
dals. In a way, it is a variant of my ‘Moong dal dokla’. It is baked version of
dokla with moong & gram dal.Also find recipe of whole moong dokla here.
Any dal, be it moong or channa (gram) dal, it is
packed with protein and many other nutrients! So consuming them on regular
basis is highly recommended. Dals are greatest food options during winter and
also for growing kids. This snack is sugar-free and hence perfect protein rich
food even for diabetics. So let us see the method of making it.

- Now transfer this to a mixing bowl. Add fine semolina/ chiroti rava, turmeric powder, sugar, curds, crushed cumin and chopped curry leaves. Add 2 tsp oil to this. Mix well to get a batter of pouring consistency (of idli batter). If it is thick, add little curds to adjust.
