Ingredients for the batter
- Semolina ( Sooji/Rava) - 1 cup (I used the fine variety)
- Yogurt - 3/4 cup
- Ginger green chili paste - 1 1/2 Tsp
- Oil - 1 Tbsp
- Salt to taste
- Eno Fruit salt - 1 1/2 Tsp
- Asafoetida - 1/4 Tsp
Ingredients for the tempering
- Mustard seeds - 1 Tsp
- Sesame seeds - 1 Tsp
- Green chilies - 2 (slit)
- Curry leaves - 8-10
- Oil - 1 Tbsp
- Coriander leaves - 1 Tbsp
- Fresh grated coconut - I Tbsp (optional)
Instructions
- Combine the rava, yogurt, ginger green chili paste, salt and 1 cup of water in a deep bowl and whisk well. Cover with a lid and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Just before steaming the dhokla, add eno fruit salt. When bubbles form, mix gently.
- Pour the batter immediately into a greased thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread the batter in an even layer.
- Steam in a steamer for 12-14 minutes till the knife inserted inside the batter comes out clean.
- Heat the remaining 1 tbsp of oil in a small non stick pan or tadka pan. Add mustard seeds and sesame seeds. Let them splitter. Add slit green chilies and curry leaves .Sauté them on a medium flame for few seconds. Switch off the flame.
- Pour the tempering over the dhokla. Spring the coriander and fresh coconut evenly over it.
- Cool slightly and cut into equal sized square pieces and serve.
Notes
- Make sure that steamer is properly heated (at least 4-5 minutes) before placing the plates filled with batter in it otherwise dhokla will take more time to cook and may not turn spongy.
- After adding Eno fruit salt do not keep batter for long time otherwise dhokla will not be spongy.
- Steam batter over medium flame to make them spongy. Do not steam it on high flame otherwise it will not cook from inside.
