Today we will make Rava Dhokla.
It is very easy to make.
Very less oil is used to make it.
It tastes sumptuous.
Make it for breakfast, pack it in kids lunch,
or serve it as a snacks.
Let's start making it.
This is 1 cup fine semolina,
Take 1 cup curd, whisked with 1 green chili paste and
1/2 tsp ginger paste, in a mixer.
Add to semolina and mix it well.
Batter is too dense add water to it.
Make slightly dense batter, like that of idli.
Batter is ready, keep for 10 minutes for semolina to puff up.
Keep water to boil.
To make dhokla take any such vessel,
where the batter container fits in well.
Put 2 to 3 cups water to it.
Put a Jali stand inside it,
to keep the dhokla batter in it.
Turn on flame.
Cover it up so that the water boils quickly.
Its been 10 minutes, batter is puffed up and dense.
Add 3/4 tsp salt, 3/4 tsp powdered sugar (optional)
Mix it well.
Add 1 tsp Eno fruit salt.
Pour 1 tsp water over it.
Mix it well.
Do not whisk for long after adding eno.
As there are bubbles the batter is ready,
A little less than 1/2 cup water is used.
Take a container for making the dhokla.
It is greased well with oil.
Put the batter in it, tap and make it even.
Water is boiling well.
Put the Dhokla container in water,
cover and cook it for 20 minutes.
If the steam is coming out quick, then turn flame to medium.
20 minutes have passed, check the dhokla.
Dhokla looks puffed up.
Poke with a knife to check, it comes out clean.
Take out the container, keep on Jali stand to cool.
Dhokla has cooled off.
Move the knife on the sides and take out the idli.
Put thali over the container and flip it like this and pat well
Dhokla is ready, let's add tempering to it.
Take 2 green chilies and slit them, remove seeds.
Heat the tadka pan.
Add 2 tbsp oil to pan and heat it up.
Add 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds,
add 10 to 12 curry leaves, 1 tsp sesame seeds, green chilies.
Put the tadka over the dhokla.
Rawa dhokla is ready,
This is a very soft and spongy dhokla.
It is very tasty too.
Making it is easy but be a little cautious,
that the batter is neither thick nor slurry.
At the end add eno fruit salt.
Mix well till the batter is puffed up.
Do not whisk much after adding eno,
if the air bubbles escape the dhokla won't puff up.
To cook keep on high flame first,
as there is steam, and more steam escapes,
then put flame to medium and cook for 20 minutes.
You will make sumptuous dhoklas.
Serve dhokla with Peanut chutney, coconut chutney,
or any of your favorite chutney.
This dhokla tastes delicious even without chutney.
