Ingredients
- For the batter
- ¾ cup besan (Bengal gram flour)
- ¼ cup soya flour
- 1½ tbsp semolina (rava)
- ½ tsp citric acid (nimbu ka phool)
- 3½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
- 1½ tsp fruit salt
- salt to taste
- For the tempering
- ½ tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
- ½ tsp sesame seeds (til)
- 2 green chillies, chopped
- a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
- 2 tsp oil
- For the garnish
- 1 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
- For serving
- Nutritious Green Chutney
Instructions
- Mix together all the ingredients for the batter, except the fruit salt, using enough water to make a thick batter.
- Add in the fruit salt, sprinkle a little water over the fruit salt and mix well. The mixture will rise immediately.
- When the mixture rises, pour it into a greased thali and steam for about 10 minutes.
- For the tempering, heat the oil in a small pan and add the mustard seeds, sesame seeds, green chillies and asafoetida. When the mustard seeds crackle, add 1 tablespoon of water and pour this over the steamed dhoklas.
- Cut into pieces and serve hot with nutritious green chutney.
Notes
You can use 1 teaspoon of lemon juice instead of the citric acid crystals.
Keep the steamer hot and only then add the fruit salt into the batter.
