Method For Prepare Dhokla Recipe

1. Prepare the Batter Of Dhokla Recipe:

• In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of gram flour (besan) to remove any lumps.

• Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice , 1 table spoon oil and mix again.
• Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes for the absorb moisture.

2. Prepare the Steamer:

• While our dhokla is resting, we will prepare the steamer. For that, take a bowl and grease it well with oil on all sides.
• In a steamer or large pot, add about 2 cups of water and bring it to a boil. Place a stand inside so the dhokla tray doesn’t touch the water.

  3. Add ENO and Steam:

  • Just before steaming, add 1 teaspoon of ENO fruit salt or baking soda to the batter and mix gently. As you stir, you’ll see bubbles form, making the batter light and airy.
  • Immediately pour the batter into the greased tray and spread it evenly.
  • Place the tray in the steamer and cover with a lid.
  • Steam on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick  inserted in the center comes out clean.

  4. Prepare the Tempering( Tadka):

  • While the dhokla is steaming, prepare the tempering (tadka).
  • Heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle.
  • Add sesame seeds, slit green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute.
  • Add ½ cup water, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice to the tempering and let it come to

    a boil. This sugar-lemon-water mix will keep the dhokla moist.

  5. Add Tempering to Dhokla:

  • Once the dhokla is steamed, remove it from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes.
  • Cut the dhokla into squares or diamond shapes.
  • Pour the prepared tempering evenly over the dhokla pieces, ensuring the water mixture soaks into them.
