Rava (suji, semolina flour) Dahi Eno fruit salt (baking soda) Oil Salt Mustard seeds (rye) Kadi patta (curry leaves) Ginger (optional) Green chilli (optional) Corriander leaves (for garnishing)
METHOD
Mix 2 cups rava (will make 2 thalis of dhokas), 1 cup dahi, 1 cup water. Then add 2 tbsp oil. Add salt to taste (approx 1.5 tsp)
Soak for 20 min. Then add 1/2 tsp crushed ginger chilli paste, 1tsp eno fruit salt (or baking soda) and 1/4 -1/2 cup water for consistency (only of required!).
Preheat water in a steamer and grease the thalis. Then pour the batter in each thali and sprinkle some corriander leaves (you can also sprinkle red chilli powder or pickle masala). Steam the dhoklas for 15 min (10 min if only one thali). Switch off the gas and let it be in the steamer for 5 more min. before opening it.
Let it cool completely. Then cut in to square pieces with a knife, peal them from the center first, and then spread in a plate. Heat oil in pan and saute rye and kadi patta, and pour this tadka on the dhokla pieces. (Dhokla pieces are too delicate so better to add tadka over them, than saute them in a pan). Serve hot with green chutney.
Enjoy!
(Tip: For dhoklas to rise, it is better to steam in an open pan by covering with a thali. This way steam does not put so much pressure that the dhokas don't rise.)
