Protein Rich Sprouts Dhokla

SPROUTS DHOKLA

Sprouts contain a significant amount of protein and dietary fiber, vitamin A, C, K, folate, pantothenic acid, niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin. It also contains manganese, copper, zinc, magnesium, iron, and calcium.

Feeding Sprouts to children is a tough process. So we can feed them in various versions of Sprouts. Using these sprouts, I tried Dhoklas. It came out very well. Suitable side dish for this dhokla are Coconut chutney or Onion Chutney.

In a blender/mixer jar, grind all items, given under ingredients, except fruit salt, to a thick pouring consistency batter. Pour this batter into a bowl. Check for salt.



Add Grated carrot to the batter.
