    For the second day with Cooking with Moong dal, I made these Gujarati Moong Dal Dhokla that turned out so soft and delicious. This makes a great evening snack. And becomes a great evening snack. I am in a hurry and can't think much beyond what I need to write. 
    It's last few days of vacation for Kids and with the chocolates dishes that I made for them, they were very happy. Konda liked this Dhokla and I wished my boys ate this too. Maybe it will take some more time for them!
