Ingredients
For the Dhokla Batter
- 2 cup Semolina also known as rawa or sooji
- 1 cup Yogurt plain yogurt
- 1/2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 1 tsp Eno Fruit Salt used as a leavening agent
- 1 Chili finely chopped, green
- Salt to taste
- cup Water as needed, to adjust batter consistency
For the Tempering
- 2 tbsp Oil vegetable or canola oil
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 8-10 Curry Leaves
Instructions
Prepare the Dhokla Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the semolina, yogurt, red chili powder, green chili, and salt. Gradually add water, whisking continuously until you achieve a smooth batter with a consistency similar to idli batter. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes.
Steam the Dhokla
- Lightly grease a 6-inch square baking pan or similar sized container. Add Eno fruit salt to the batter and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy. This step needs to be done quickly.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Place the pan in a steamer or a large pressure cooker with about 1 inch of water. Steam over medium-low heat for 15-17 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the steamer and let the dhokla cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently removing it from the pan.
Make the Tempering
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds; allow them to splutter. Add curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Pour the tempering evenly over the cooled dhokla.
Serve
- Cut the dhokla into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Instant Rawa Dhokla
- For extra fluffiness, let the batter rest for at least 15 minutes before steaming.
- Don't overmix the batter after adding Eno fruit salt, as this can make the dhokla tough.
- Use a steamer with sufficient water to ensure even steaming. Adding a layer of parchment paper between the dhokla and steamer basket is helpful for even steaming and clean removal.
- Experiment with different tempering ingredients, such as asafoetida (hing) or finely chopped onions, to add unique flavors.
