Dhokla

Another easy and favourite dish of mine is the dhokla.Though I’m not aware if it is prepared this way originally.But this is the way I prepare it and it hardly takes time.

Ingredients:

Besan/gram flour/channa flour – one cup

Curd – one cup

Oil – one tsp

Eno/fruit salts – one heaped tsp

Salt to taste

One tsp sugar dissolved in one-fourth cup of water

Mustard seeds - - half a tsp

Curry leaves – two or three

Green chillie split – one

Fresh coriander leaves – a few

Method:

Grease a microwavable dish and keep aside. In another bowl add the besan and the curd and mix well to a smooth consistency avoiding any lumps. To this add the oil and eno and mix well. The dough will seem to froth and rise, continue  mixing while adding the salt and turmeric powder to this. Pour it out into the greased bowl and cook it in the microwave for about two to three minutes.

In the meantime, heat oil in a small ladle and add the mustard seeds , split green chilli and the curry leaves, when the seeds crackle add it to the water in which the sugar has been dissolved.

Once the dhokla is done remove it from the bowl onto a serving dish , cut it into chunks and drizzle the seasoned water onto it and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh coriander leaves and serve with tomato sauce.

Bon Appetit!!!
