#Bandhan - A healthy recipe of the popular Gujarati snack - Dhokla made with spinach puree. It is an instant recipe where I have used sooji (rava) to make these delicious and fluffy small bites. It can be prepared in no time and is a very good option for breakfast or as an evening snack. The green colour gives a very appealing look to these steamed cakes.
