Hello, hi, namaste to all Hive users reaching this. Hope you all are doing great 😃. Today I am sharing a recipe that I tried making for the first time - that's dhokla.
So here is the recipe I followed -
I took a container with 1 and 1/2 cups of water, then added a Little salt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. I also added a pinch of turmeric powder, then mixed it well.
After this, sieve the gram flour properly.
Then start adding the sieved gram flour slowly to the water we prepared earlier and mix it properly.
After mixing it properly, add one spoon of oil to it.
Once the batter is ready, pour it into a proper container that you can use for steaming.
Then put it into a steamer ( I don't have a steamer; therefore used this method).
Wait for 20-30 minutes.
Till the time the base is getting steamed, I made the syrup to pour over it.
For this, take some oil in a pan, let it heat, then add green chilli, mustard seeds, and white sesame seeds - let it roast for 1-2 minutes. Then add 2 glasses of water to it ( be careful while doing this). Also add some salt and sugar into the syrup. Let it boil for 2 more minutes and then let it cool.
After 20-30 minutes, check the base by inserting a fork into it. If it comes out clear, then it is cooked properly, but if not, then steam it for some more time.
After this, cut it into pieces as you wish.
Then pour the syrup properly into the base.
Here, the dhokla was ready.
My brother and I personally loved its taste, but my other family members didn't like its taste that much. Because it has many flavours: sweet, spicy (actually, I sliced the chillies into 2 parts; therefore, the syrup became spicy too), and a bit salty.
Hope you all liked it, thank you for visiting my post 😊.
