This high protein variation of the traditional gujarati savory cake uses moong dal and semolina. Rich in folic acid and iron, this is a tasty way to speed up red blood cell development to make up for blood loss after delivery. I’ve cooked this in a non-stick pan to minimize oil usage.

Tarla Dalal    Dal being rich in protein helps boost metabolism and aid in weight loss. Further this recipe makes use of very little oil, hence recommended for weight loss.
