Method of preparation of Dhokla

Sieve the gram flour in a bowl. Now add curd, salt, turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon oil and lemon juice and mix it for 1 minute. Now add water little by little and make a smooth batter (batter is not too thin or too thick) Now keep the batter on the side for half an hour to set.

Let’s prepare ahead until the batter is set. First grease the bowl with oil so that the dhokla does not stick to the bottom. Now put two bowls of water in a pan and keep the stand. Now heat the water on high to medium heat till it boils.

Now roll the gram flour batter with a spoon. Now add baking soda to this batter and add a teaspoon of water and rotate the batter for 1 minute. Now you will see that the batter is full, now immediately put it in a greased pot with oil and place it on the stand in the pan.

Now cover the lid on the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes. Open after the scheduled time and check with a knife. If the knife comes out clean then understand that the dhokla is well formed, if the batter is sticking to the knife, cook two to three more minutes. Now take out the vessel and let it cool down a bit.

After cooling, cut the dhokla into medium pieces with a knife. Dhokla is ready. Now put a spoonful of oil in the tempering pan and heat it to make the tempering. When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, green chilies (long cut), curry leaves and fry until the mustard seeds crackle. Now add sugar, 1 cup of water and cook till the sugar dissolves. Now pour this tempering over the Dhokla and decorate it with green coriander. (This is an easy method of making Dhokla chutney)
