Methi Palak Dhoklas

These quick and easy to make dhoklas are best enjoyed as a breakfast dish or even a late afternoon snack. Black-eyed beans, also called cow peas or chawli beans are extremely rich in iron and folic acid. Both these nutrients are required in abundance, especially during the first trimester.

Preparation Time: 10 minutes.
Cooking Time: 30 minutes.
Soaking Time: overnight.
Serves 4.

¾ cup finely chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves
¾ cup finely chopped spinach (palak)
1 cup chawli (cow pea / lobhia)
1 tbsp ginger-green chilli paste
1 tsp asafoetida (hing)
2 tbsp oil
Salt to taste
1 tbsp fruit salt

For serving
Green chutney

1. Wash and soak the chawli in enough water overnight.
2. Drain well and add ¾ cup of water and blend in a mixer to a smooth paste.
3. Transfer the paste into a bowl, add the spinach, fenugreek, ginger-green chilli paste, asafoetida, oil and salt and mix well to make a smooth batter.
4. Just before steaming, add the fruit salt and add 1 tbsp of water over it.
5. When the bubbles form, mix gently.
6. Divide the batter into three equal portions.
7. Pour a portion of the batter immediately into a greased 150 mm. (6") diameter thali.
8. Steam in a steamer for 8 to 10 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked. Keep aside. Cool slightly and cut into square pieces.
9. Serve immediately with green chutney.
