Dhokla with Green Chutney

Dhokla is a light and fluffy steamed cake made from fermented chickpea flour, perfect for a healthy Indian supper. It is often accompanied by a zesty green chutney that enhances its flavor and provides a nutritious boost.

Ingredients

• Chickpea flour (besan) - 100 grams
• Yogurt - 50 grams
• Water - 100 ml
• Eno fruit salt - 1 teaspoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Mustard seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Curry leaves - 5 leaves
• Oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green chili - 1, chopped
• Coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine chickpea flour, yogurt, water, turmeric powder, and salt to make a smooth batter.
2. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes to ferment slightly.
3. Grease a steaming tray or a round plate and set it aside.
4. Add Eno fruit salt to the batter and mix gently; it will become frothy.
5. Pour the batter into the greased tray and steam it for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. While the dhokla is steaming, heat oil in a small pan and add mustard seeds and curry leaves.
7. Once the mustard seeds start to splutter, add chopped green chili and sauté for a minute.
8. Remove the dhokla from the steamer, let it cool slightly, and then cut it into squares.
9. Drizzle the tempering over the dhokla and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
10. Serve hot with green chutney.
