Savory Beet muffin or Dhokla is a famous Gujarati food made with gram flour and Semolina.
Savory steamed cake made with gram flour is had as snack or breakfast or Main course.
This muffin has come out well after my 3 fail attempts. One went very dry, other one got a total mess, third one had an imbalance of spice and salt
3 failed attempts and some experiments on this recipe ended in a perfect soft cake textured muffin.
Spice and salt is well balanced. The muffin can be had all by itself or with coconut chutney.
