Ingredients

Serves 4

130 gms – Gram flour

2 tbsp – Semolina

Pinch of turmeric powder

2 – Green chillies

6 g – Ginger

1 tbsp – Lemon juice

1 tbsp – Sugar

Salt to taste

150 ml – Water

2 tsp – Fruit salt/Eno

1 tbsp – Vegetable oil

Tadka

2 tbsp – Vegetable oil

1 tsp – Heaped mustard seeds, Sesame seeds

7-10 – Curry leaves

80 ml – Warm water

1 tsp – Sugar,Fresh grated coconut,Roughly chopped coriander

Method

Line a 15cm cake tin with baking parchment and grease the sides with oil. Simultaneously, pound the chillies and ginger into a coarse paste in a mortar and pestle.

In a bowl, sift gram flour; add the semolina, turmeric powder, ginger chilli paste, lemon juice, sugar and salt. Now, add water, bit by bit, and form a thick runny batter. Leave it to rest for five minutes.

Add Eno and stir well. As it starts to form bubbles, pour the batter into the greased cake tin and steam in a sauce pan or steamer for 18-20 minutes on medium heat with lid on. Press dhokla lightly to check if it’s ready. It should feel light and fluffy. Prick it with a toothpick all over to form little gaps for the tempered oil to seep through. This will keep it moist.

For the tadka/tempering, heat oil in a sauce pan and add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Now add sesame seeds and let them colour a bit.

Then add curry leaves, water and sugar.

Once done, pour this over the dhokla and let it soak for a few minutes. Take it out of the cake tin and serve warm garnished with fresh coconut and coriander.
