Dhokla is one of my favorite breakfast but my hubby is not a big fan of dhokla. So, to make him eat dhokla I always try to do some twist in it. I tried besan dhokla with peas, beetroot, and even orange juice. This time I, mixed spinach and it turned out so good that I got only one piece to eat all dhokla is whipped by my hubby (happy me). Palak Dhokla is made gram flour and spinach. It is a delicious and packed with nutrients. Spinach or palak is extremely rich in iron and dietary fibers.
