Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice long-grain white rice, washed and soaked in water for 4-5 hours
- 0.5 cup Split Chickpea split chickpeas, washed and soaked in water for 4-5 hours
- 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
Fresh Ingredients
Frying
- 2 cup Mustard Oil or enough for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Batter
- Grind the soaked rice and chana dal with enough water to achieve a smooth batter, similar in consistency to idli or dosa batter.
Combine Ingredients
- Add the green peas, green chilies, salt, turmeric powder, and chopped coriander to the batter. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Fry the Dhuska
- Heat the mustard oil in a deep kadai or pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, ensuring each portion is about the size of a small puri.
Deep Fry
- Deep-fry the Dhuska, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Drain and Serve
- Remove the fried Dhuska and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Repeat the process until all the batter is used. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or aloo ki sabzi (potato curry).
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Dhuska
- Soaking the rice and dal for the recommended time is crucial for a smooth and flavorful batter.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy Dhuska.
- For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) to the batter.
