Dam Dama Dam Dhokla

Dhokla is a gujarathi dish and is easy to make and is very healthy... And can be a quick evening snack...



Ingredients:

Besan/Gram Flour - 2 Cups
Curd/Yoghurt - 1 cup
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Ginger Paste - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard Seeds - 1 tsp
Grated Coconut - 2 table spoons
Corriander leaves - 1/2 cup chopped
Eno (lemon flavour) - 2 tsp(You can also use baking soda 1tsp, but eno is more healthier!)
Lemon Juice - 2 tsp
Green Chillies (chopped straightwise) - 5
Salt - As per taste

Preparation:

1. Mix Gram flour, curd, trumeric, ginger paste, salt and eno to make a smooth batter. There should not be any lumps. Keep aside for 30 minutes to 1 hour. The flour would raise.
2. In a pressure cooker, take the inside vessel and spread a little oil on it. This is to make sure the flour batter does not stick to the vessel.
3. Add the flour mix in the vessel, keep it in the pressure cooker for pressure cooking (no whistle). The cooking is similar to the making of idli. Keep it for 10 to 15 minutes and lot of steam should come out.
4. By the time the dhokla is getting prepared, add oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, let it spatter, add the green chillies and finally add the coconut but don't let it get fried up, just a light touch of oil to the grated coconut is perfect, and remove from heat.
5.Remove the dhokla when it is prepared, cut to square pieces and garnish with the chilli cocunut mix on top of it. Add lemon juice on top and add corriander leaves for further garnishing.

So that's how is the tasty and delicious Dhokla prepared...
