Raw Lentils Dhokla - Oil- Free! Cook - Free!
Hema

Dhokla is the mainstay of Gujarati cuisine. Any mention of Gujarati food is incomplete without Dhokla.
I have heard from those who have attended raw food workshops, conducted by BV Chouhan Saheb, about the really yummy raw dhokla that was served there. I have attempted the same thing and would like to share it with you.
Needless to say it’s not going to be like the dhokla we are used to which usually has a raising agent like soda or Eno salts, refined semolina/ rawa and chickpeas flour. This is made with whole soaked lentils. It is definitely worth trying.
Soaked lentils consumed raw are an excellent source of nutrition.
