Digital creator Aathira Sethumadhavan (@aathirasethumadhavan) shared an easy recipe for high-protein paneer dhokla that makes for an amazing breakfast option. To make this easy dish, start by adding besan, paneer, green chillies, ginger, turmeric powder, curd, oil, salt, sugar and water into a mixer.

After 10 minutes, add 1.5 teaspoons of fruit salt or Eno and give it a good mix. Take a microwave-safe dish and grease it with some oil. Now transfer the batter into the dish. Put the dish into the microwave and bake it on high heat for about 5-6 minutes. In the meantime, prepare the dhokla tempering. Take a tempering spoon and add oil, mustard seeds, green chillies, and curry leaves. Top it off with a pinch of hing, sugar, salt and some water. Once the tempering is prepared, add it to the baked dhokla. Garnish the paneer dhokla with some chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut, and enjoy!
