Buckwheat Dhoklas ( Cooking with 1 Tsp Oil Recipe)

This combination of buckwheat, sanwa millet and curds makes an interesting recipe which is best enjoyed when served piping hot with a spoonful of low calorie green chutney. I've selected buckwheat as it abounds in fibre that will keep you satiated for a longer time and will prevent you from munching on calorie-laden snacks. Curds give a smooth creamy texture
to the dhokla batter while enriching it with calcium which is necessary for healthy and strong bones. You can also have these dhoklas when you're on a religious fast as both these ingredients can be consumed during fasts.


Preparation Time: 3 mins
Cooking Time: 20 mins

 


Ingredients
1 cup buckwheat (kutto or kutti no daro)
2 tbsp sanwa millet (sama)
3/4 cup fresh low fat curds (dahi)
1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1 tsp oil
a pinch of baking soda
salt to taste

Other Ingredients
oil for greasing

For The Garnish
1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)

Method
Wash and drain the buckwheat. Add the curds and sanwa millet and mix well. Allow to soak for at least 3 hours.
Add the ginger-green chilli paste, oil, soda bi-carb and salt and mix well.
Pour the batter into a 200 mm. (8") diameter greased thali.
Steam for 12 to 15 minutes till the dhoklas are firm.
Cool slightly and cut into diamond shaped pieces.
Serve hot, garnished with the coriander.

It turns out that chocolate, especially dark chocolate, reduces body mass, prevents blood clots, improves numeracy, may prevent cancer, and doesn’t ruin your complexion. A new study suggests that eating chocolate can help you stay thin. Researchers at the University of California-San Diego found that people who frequently eat chocolate have lower body-mass indexes than people who don’t. Other evidence indicates that chocolate can also ward off strokes, heart attacks, and diabetes. 1. Chocolate decreases stroke risk A Swedish study found that eating more than 45 grams of chocolate per week—about two bars worth—led to a 20 percent decrease in stroke risk among women. Chocolate contains flavonoids, whose antioxidant properties help fight strokes, the study’s author, Susanna Larsson, told HealthDay. 2. Chocolate reduces the likelihood of a heart attack Other studies show that eating chocolate prevents blood clots, which in turn reduces the risk of heart attacks. Blood plat...
