    Love this spongy cake so much..

    Now coming back to todays recipe, it is a steamed lentil cake called as dhokla. I have been waiting to post this recipe, because it is one of my favorite..I love to have it with green chutney and tamarind chutney. I have made a version of green chutney here to serve it with this. I have posted that recipe too..

    I recommend you to have this with any of those chutney, because they do pack a punch..So try it out and let me know how they turn out..

    Green Chilli - 2 to 3
    Sugar - 1 tsp
    Salt to taste
    Lemon Juice - 1 tblspn
    Water - as needed to blend

    Method:

    Take green chilli and ginger in a mixer. Add 2 tblspn of water and puree them to a smooth paste. Set aside till use.

    Now take a steaming high sided plate and grease it well with oil. Set aside till use. 

    Now pour water in idli stand or a kadai. Bring it to boil. This is where you are going to steam your dhokla.

    Take curd and water in a large mixing bowl. Add in salt, sugar and turmeric powder. Mix them together.

    Now add in gram flour, sooji and make into a smooth batter. Leave it to sit for 10 mins.

    After 10 mins, add in pureed ginger and chillies, lemon juice and mix them well. 

    Now just before you steam, add in the eno fruit salt and mix, mix, and mix.

    Pour it immediately in the grease tray and pop into the steamer.

    Steam it for 15 to 20 mins or till a tooth pick inserted comes out clean.

    When the dhokla is steaming, make the green chutney. Take all ingredients in a blender and make into a smooth paste. Your green chutney is done. Set aside till serving.

    Now After 20 mins remove the dhokla from the steamer and set aside. Now make the tempering, heat oil in a tadka pan, add in mustard, green chilli, asafoetida and let them sizzle for a min. Take it off the stove and Pour in water and mix them well.

    Now drizzle this all over the dhokla, top it with coriander leaves and coconut.

      Hi Aarthi, its am amazing snack. My most favorite too. Though being a gujarati, I must say that the recipe you gave here is called "KHAMAN".
      Dhokla is made with rice n chana dal mix. But everyone says both names together, but both are different m taste too...!! I hope you won't mind correcting.

      It turned red in colour. Had to discard. but i tried to make it in microwave. Dont knw what went wrong. I guess haldi lime baking soda Combo might b the culprit. What went wrong?

      Hi, i got to knw the culprit. I think i added too much of baking soda thus it turned red. I guess i should buy eno on safer side and try this recipe again.

      @Kamal bangaYes too much baking soda can change the colour. Eno salt is the best option for this
