Hara Bhara Dil

We got some Fresh Peas from our local market. A marathon session of peeling, sorting as per size and then storing them for the year...and when fresh to make amazing recipes with it!

In that line of thought, Amma decided to make for breakfast a different type using all the fresh ingredients like Peas, Mint, Green Chillies...and said "Tomorrow for all Hara Bhara Dil"

Ingredients:
1 cup Besan | Chick Pea Flour

1/2 cup Green Peas, boiled

3 Green chillies

1 " Adrak | Ginger

1/2 cup Dahi | Curd
15  Pudina | Mint Leaves

A pinch Fruit Salt
Oil, for greasing steamer plate

To taste, Salt

Method:

• Keep aside 1 tblsp of the boiled peas and roughly mash it with a spoon. Keep aside.
• Grind to a smooth paste the remaining boiled fresh peas, adrak, green chillies, ginger and mint.
• In a mixing bowl add besan, the smooth paste, roughly mashed boiled peas, and curd except Fruit Salt and mix well.
• Check for salt and adjust to taste. The consistency of the batter should be thick. 
• Grease the steamer plate with oil.
• Add the Eno salt and mix well. This will loosen up the batter due to the aeration process.

• Pour batter into the steamer plate as we normally prepare Dhoklas.
• Keep the steamer plate in the steamer and steam for 15 minutes. In case using a pressure cooker, steam them for 15 minutes without the whistle. Remove and keep to cool for 5 minutes.
• Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many Hara Bhara Dils as possible.

• Serve healthy nutritious Hara Bhara Dils with Tomato Ketchup.

These dils look so  refreshing and fresh due to the green hue!
