Vrat ka dhokla- a steamed cake made with sago and millet – easy snack recipe for fasting
vrat ka dhokla is a quick and oil free snack for fasting . usually the food we make for fasting is often rich in calories as most of the pakora , pooris are deep fried. This one recipe is very light on stomach too. you can make this for fasting and on regular days too.
Samak is a healthy gluten free millet used for making so many vrat ki recipes. it is also popular as vrat ke chawal. you can substitute it for any rice recipe. Samak is named as sama, varai, vari, jhingora, samat, bhgar, samwa, moraiyo,swang etc.
It absorb lots of water and swells up while cooking . I usually make pulav and khichdi with samak for a filling meal during fasting. It goes well with yogurt or vrat ki kadhi. Samak is also used to make idli, dhokla and vrat ka dosa. it is quite versatile grain to use and try many recipes.
you can make it in two ways . either soak both sago and samo and then grind them into a paste or dry grind them and then add water and curd and make a batter. Add green chili ginger ot just pepper powder if you don’t use ginger chilies in fasting. add little sour yogurt for mixing else add some lemon juice or tatri in it for sourness.
This dhokla you can serve with vrat wali green chutney, mango chutney or just with some curd or tea.
