Instructions
- HOW TO MAKE OR PREPARE PALAK (SPINACH) DHOKLA RECIPE Take 2 bunches of spinach and wash them thoroughly. Blanch the spinach leaves along with the stalk and make 1 cup of puree. Keep aside.
- Grease the dhokla plate with the oil and keep it ready. Wash and soak the tur dal for 5-6 hours in sufficient water. Drain the water and grind the tur dal with yoghurt and make a thick smooth paste/batter of it.
- Remove the tur dal paste/batter in a bowl. Add spinach puree, green chilli ginger paste, salt, sugar, oil and lemon juice and mix well. Lastly add eno salt and give a final mix.
- Immediately pour the batter into the greased dhokla plate. Heat sufficient water in a steamer pot. Place the dhokla plate/stand in the steamer. Close the lid and steam on high for 15 minutes or till done. Once cooled down, remove the dhokla plate
- Heat oil in a tadka pan. Add mustard seeds and sesame seeds and allow it to crackle. Switch off the flame and add 2 tablespoons of water to the seasoning. (This helps the keep the dhoklas moist and soft).
- Pour this seasoning over the dhoklas and garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut. Cut in desired shapes and enjoy the dhoklas.
- Serve palak dhoklas warm with green chutney or tomato ketchup or as it is.
- NOTES/TIPS Once eno salt is added to the batter, steam the batter immediately in the steamer pot. You can also add chopped green chillies to the batter for a more spicy flavor. Ensure that the batter is of a smooth and little thick consistency.
