Green Moong Dal Dhokla is a steamed mung bean cake that is seasoned with mustard, sesame and curry leaves. This recipe of the Dhokla is a variation of the traditional Khatta Dhokla and falls into the category of a Gujarati farsan is a regular staple weekly dinner at my home. Weekends when there is low edge to cooking, I typically make the preparation for the batter a couple of days before. This ensures my Sunday evenings can be relaxing ensuring a wholesome dinner is served to begin the new work week with a zing. Being rich in proteins it acts as a fantastic lunch box meal or a meal for one dish dinner.

You can make these Green Moong Dal Dhokla more nutritious by adding finely chopped carrots, french beans, grated bottled gourd, green peas, or finely chopped cabbage to the batter before steaming.
