- Take gram flour in a bowl. Add yogurt and
approximately one cup of warm water and mix. Avoid lumps. Add salt and
mix again. Leave it aside to ferment for two to three hours. When gram
flour mixture has fermented, add turmeric powder and green chilli-ginger
paste. Mix well. Heat the steamer. Grease a thali with 1tsp of oil. In a
small bowl take lemon juice, soda bicarbonate, one teaspoon of oil and
mix. Add it to the batter and whisk briskly. Pour batter into the
greased thali and place it in the steamer. [Just before pouring the
batter into the greased thali you can add eco powder without water].
Cover with the lid and steam for ten minutes. You can also cook this
mixture in a pressure cooker without the whistle. When a little cool,
cut into squares and keep in a serving bowl/plate.
To make outstanding dhoklas apply tamarind chutney over dhokla and
spread with help of spatula. Then spread coriander chutney and tomato
chutney. (I always follow this step and all my friends and family love
dhoklas prepared by me)
Heat the remaining oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds. When the seeds
start to crackle, then add 2tsp. of hing, break 3-4 red chillies(whole)
lastly add 3-4 tsp of desiccated coconut. Remove from heat and pour
over the dhoklas. Serve, garnished with chopped coriander leaves.
Tip: To make moist dhokla in a serving dish add cold water and sugar
syrup (10-12tsp). Then place your dhokla. And rest same as above. After
completing the preparation store the dhoklas in fridge for 1 hour.
