These Dhoklas are very healthy and tasty. The ingredients are easily accessible and don't require much prepping.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice (any type of rice)
- ¼ cup split black gram lentils (Urad Dal)
- ¼ cup split yellow lentil (Yellow Moong Dal)
- ¼ cup split chickpea lentil (Chana Dal)
- ¼ cup yellow split pigeon peas (Toor Dal) or Semolina (Sooji)
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves (Kasoori Methi)
- 2 ½ tsp fruit salt/Eno
- ½ tsp amchur powder or citric acid
- ½ tsp red chili powder
- For Serving: Oil, salt, chili powder or Methi Masala
Instructions
- Blend all the rice and lentils into a blender until a coarse texture is achieved. This dry flour mix can be stored in an airtight container for up to 15 days.
- Take a mixing bowl and add mixed flour. Add water little by little to create a smooth batter. The consistency should be not too thick and not too thin.
- Add salt and amchur/citric acid. Mix well and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare your steamer. Heat water in the steamer and grease dhokla plates with some oil.
- Take some of the batter in a different container and add Kasoori Methi. You may skip this step and make plain dhoklas too. Add Eno/fruit salt + 1 tbsp of oil. Combine everything nicely. Follow this step just before you are ready to steam the dhoklas.
- Sprinkle red chili powder on the top. Cover and Steam the Dhoklas for 10 minutes.
- Let Dhoklas cool down before you cut into the desired shape. Brush some oil on the top. Doing so will prevent Dhoklas from turning dry if not serving immediately.
- Serve with some oil, mixed with some salt and red chili powder or with some Methi Masala.
Notes
I experimented with these dhokla one day and it turned out so good, now we prefer it over typical white dhoklas. Everyone in my family loves it!
