Namaskar Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
Today we will prepare Sweet Corn Dhokla
which not only has a unique taste but is also nutritious as it is made with very less oil.
You can have it for breakfast or as a tea time snack.
Ingredients required :
Sweet corn - 2
Suji(semolina)/Rawa - 1 cup
Curd - 1 cup(churned)
Oil - 2 to 3 tbsp
Green coriander(dhaniya) - 2 to 3 tbsp
Curry leaves - 10 to 12
Lemon - 1
Green chillies - 2
Ginger - 1 inch long piece(grated) or 1 tsp ginger paste
Salt - 3/4 tsp
Rie - 1 tsp
Eno Salt - 3/4 tsp
Put curd and Suji in a big bowl and mix the two till they form a uniform mixture.
Until this mixture ferments let us grate the sweet corn and prepare its paste.
Use a grater to make the paste
and if you have the just have sweetcorn seeds then we will put 1 cup corn in the mixer to make a paste.
We can follow either method.
Put Suji curd mixture to this sweet corn paste.
Now add salt and ginger then mix well.
Leave this mixture aside for 5 minutes.
Suji has fermented well so now we will prepare Dhokla.
Take a utensil big enough to fit a plate with Dhokla, you can also cook in a cooker.
Pour 2-3 cups of water in this utensil
turn on the gas and place a stand in the utensil on which the plate is to be kept.
Until water comes to boil we will prepare the Dhokla mixture in put it in a plate.
Grease the plate with some oil.
Squeeze lemon juice in the Dhokla mix and blend properly.
We will put Eno salt after putting all of the ingredients.
Eno salt is put in the end as we have to instantly cook Dhokla after adding Eno salt.
Now put Eno Salt and mix
there is no need to beat rigorously.
When air bubbles start to appear put mixture in the plate.
Steam has started forming from the water so place the plate with Dhokla mix on the stand.
Cover the utensil and allow Dhokla to cook in steam for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes check Dhokla by poking it with a knife. If the knife comes out clean without any mixture stuck to it then Dhokla is cooked.
Turn off the gas.
We will take the Dhokla out after it cools down.
Using a knife separate Dhokla from the plate along the edges.
Place another plate over it then overturn the plate with Dhokla
and it will come out on the other plate.
Cut Dhokla with a knife into your desired pieces.
Now we need to apply Tadka over the Dhokla.
Heat a small pan, pour oil in it.
Cut chilly length wise into 2 halves.
Cut curry leaves into thin strips, oil has heated.
Put Rie in hot oil and roast it then add curry leaves to it.
Turn off the gas.
Now put green chilly in the pan.
Pour this Tadka all over dhokla with a spoon then garnish with green coriander.
Sweet Corn Dhokla is ready.
While preparing this Dhokla keep in mind that Eno Salt has to be added after the mixture is prepared.
Do not add it before hand.
First hat water, allow steam to appear, grease the palet with oil
then add Eno Salt to the mixture.
Beat just to mix
and as air bubbles start forming put mixture in the plate at once.
Then allow Dhokla to cook in the utensil.
We need to follow these steps as Dhokla becomes soft due to air bubbles in it.
If we continuously beat the mixture then air bubbles will appear then come out.
this doesn’t not help in making a puffy Dhokla.
So just keep these things in mind.
Serve Sweet Corn Dhokla with green coriander chutney or chilly sauce.
