Description

Dhokla is a famous Gujarati dish made from fermented batter of chana dal and rice. It is a delicious, steamed and healthy snack that can be served for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The dish is light and fluffy, with a slight tangy flavor and is perfect for those who prefer gluten-free and low-fat food.

Prep Time

The preparation time for this dish is around 8-10 hours, which includes soaking, grinding and fermenting of the batter.

Cook Time

The cooking time for dhokla is around 20-25 minutes.

Ingredient

  • 1 cup rice
  • 1/2 cup chana dal
  • 1/4 cup yogurt
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ginger paste
  • 1 tsp green chili paste
  • 1 tsp eno fruit salt
  • 1 tbsp oil
  • 1 tbsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 10-12 curry leaves
  • 2-3 tbsp coriander leaves, chopped

Equipment

  • Blender or grinder
  • Steaming pot or cooker
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Small pan or tadka pan

Method

  1. Wash and soak rice and chana dal for 6-8 hours or overnight.
  2. Drain the water and grind the soaked rice and chana dal together to a fine paste. Add yogurt, sugar, salt, ginger paste and green chili paste to the batter and mix well.
  3. Cover the batter and let it ferment for 2-3 hours or until it doubles in size.
  4. Grease a steaming tray or a thali with oil and keep it ready.
  5. Add eno fruit salt to the fermented batter and mix it gently. The batter will become frothy and double in size.
  6. Pour the batter into the greased tray or thali and steam it for 15-20 minutes or until the dhokla is cooked and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  7. Remove the dhokla from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes.
  8. Cut the dhokla into squares or diamond shapes.
  9. Heat oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds, sesame seeds and curry leaves. Let them crackle for a few seconds and pour the tempering over the dhokla.
  10. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot with green chutney or sweet tamarind chutney.

Notes

  • You can also add grated coconut, grated carrots or chopped spinach to the batter for a variation in taste and texture.
  • Make sure the batter is not too thick or too thin. It should be of pouring consistency.
  • You can also add lemon juice instead of eno fruit salt for fermentation. In that case, add 2-3 tbsp of lemon juice to the batter and let it ferment for 6-8 hours or overnight.
