Jhatpat Khaman Dhokla...
Khaman Dhokla is a gujrati dish. Best served at breakfast. Back home we dont bother to make this at home because we can get world's best dhoklas at our local shop and that too anytime of the day. But here I tried and they turned out spongy and good.
Ingredients:
* Besan 1 cup
* Water 1 cup
* Lemonjuice 3 tbsp
* Oil 3 tbsp
* Eno Fruit Salt 1 tsp
* Mustard Seeds 1 tsp
* Green Chillies 2 finely sliced
* Curry Leaves
* Sugar 2 tbsp
* Salt
Procedure:
Mix togather besan, salt, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp lemonjuice, green chillies and water.
In a large vessel, take a glass of water and put a wire mesh upside down in the vessel. Make sure the top of the mesh is above water level.
Grease a baking pan (normal cake pan would do).
Now add Eno and mix well and pour this mixture right away in the greased pan.
Steam it for 20 minutes.
For Tarka:
Heat remaining oil, add mustard seeds and kari leaves.
Mix together water,sugar and lemonjuice and pour into the tarka. Boil it.
Take out dhokla and cut into pieces.
Pour the tarka mixture over it.
Garnish with corriander leaves and serve hot.
Hi,
Eno fruit salt = baking powder?
Also, you think this will work if I use idli moulds to steam dokhla?
Thanks

yeah idli moulds can be used...
eno is for replacement for baking powder but also add those bubbles which makes them more porous... incase you dont have eno then yeah baking powder can be used...

Hi Sri
I half cup for tarka would be fine... for batter, add half a cup to start with and add more to make the consistency like the batter for pakora
