Dhokla - Gujrati Snack
When i had it for the first time i felt dhokla looks like yellow idlis cut into cubes.But it tastes different. In the first trail itself i loved the taste of this sweet and sour snack and decided to try it by myself. First time it turned out hard, but then second time i could make soft spongy dhokla.I was really surprised to find out how easy the preparation is. So here, i am sharing the recipe with my friends...
What you need :
Besan/Gram Flour - 2 cups
Curd/Yoghurt - 1/2 cup
Green chilly paste - 1 tsp
Ginger Paste - 1/2 tsp
Baking soda - 1 pinch
Salt - as required
Sugar - 1 tbsp
lemon juice - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Eno - 1 sachet
Water - as required
For seasoning
Oil - 2 tsp
Red chilly -2
Curry leaves - 1 bunch
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
First seive together besan and soda well. Then mix curd,salt,lemon juice,green chilly paste and ginger paste together without lumps. Now add water little by little so that you get a thick batter just as the same consistency as that of idly batter. Keep aside for one or two hours. Now add sugar according to your taste level.( If you don't want dhokhlas sweet then you can completely avoid sugar. But i prefer it khatta meetha so i add about 2 tbsp sugar).Now add eno and you can see bubbles coming up in the batter. Now pour the batter into a dish similar to baking dish greased with oil. Steam the batter in a steamer for around 30 minutes on medium flame. Check whether the dhokla is well cooked using a knife or fork. If the fork comes out clean then we can make sure that dhokhla is well cooked. Now take out the pan and let it cool a bit. Remove the dhokla from the dish and cut into cubes with a knife smoothly. Now do the seasoning with all the ingredients in hot oil and pour on the dhoklas.
Serve with any chutney of your choice!
Note : Don't keep the batter after adding eno. Immediately steam it.
