Pearl Millet Dhokla/Kambu Dhokla/Bajra Dhokla

After a light, airy and delicious cornmeal dhokla, now am taking you all to a nutritious dhoklas, yes this dhokla is completely a different one from those varieties of dhoklas you would have crossed in your life. Actually i must say that i always want to add millets in our diet and while preparing a simple usual dhokla batter for our dinner, i asked myself why dont you give a try to a different dhokla with the millets and hence i tried adding the pearl millet flour sitting in my pantry. Initially i wasnt sure about the taste and texture, however since i love to take risk in my life i was very much tempted to give a try to this pearl millet dhokla. I kept my fingers crossed until i removed the cooked dhokla from the cooker. When i sliced the dhokla, i was astonished to see the fluffiness and light texture of this millet dhokla. This dhokla tastes simply awesome as i went for usual spices as i do with my usual instant gram flour dhokla.

Seriously if you love dhoklas and dunno how to add millets in your diet, just give a try to this beautiful dhokla, am sure you will definitely love this combination. A very satifying meal, i enjoyed thoroughly with mint chutney, simply loved it. However am gonna try this millet dhokla with a combination of other millets soon,as am a great fan of millets. This millet dhoklas goes to this week's blogging marathon, as i picked Dhoklas as this week's theme.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#43.
