 Damni Dhokla
Damni dhokla, a nutritious recipe that combines dals and parboiled rice, this might take you a little time to prepare, but it is totally worth the effort. The dals are washed, soaked, dried and ground, making this an authentic though slow procedure. You will also find readymade flour in stores, in case you don’t have the patience to make it this way. Methia keri sambhaar is a traditional gujarati pickle masala, which is available in most stores. But if you don’t find it, do not worry – just skip the ingredient and it will taste just the same. Also, these dhoklas are traditionally made in an almond or banana leaf cone, but you can make them in a thali too.
