Rava Dhokla, also known as Sooji Dhokla recipe to make. Soft, spongy, fluffy dhokla Instantly. Whether you're looking for a hearty breakfast, a light snack, or a side dish for your main meal, Rava Dhokla fits the bill perfectly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the fine rava (semolina) and curd (yogurt).
Gradually add water and mix well to form a smooth batter. Let it rest for about 20 minutes to allow the rava to absorb the moisture.
Add Flavor:
After 20 minutes, the batter will have thickened. Add the finely chopped green chilies, ginger paste, and salt. Mix well.
Prepare Steamer:
Grease a steaming dish with oil to prevent sticking. You can use a round cake pan or a thali (flat plate).
Add Eno Fruit Salt:
Just before steaming, add the Eno fruit salt and lemon juice to the batter. Mix gently in one direction. The batter will become frothy and airy.
Steam Dhokla:
Pour the batter into the greased steaming dish. Tap the dish gently to remove any air bubbles.
Steam the dhokla on medium heat for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Be careful not to overcook, as it can make the dhokla dry.
Prepare Tempering:
While the dhokla is steaming, prepare the tempering. Heat oil in a small pan.
Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add sesame seeds, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida. Sauté for a few seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Temper the Dhokla:
Once the dhokla is cooked, remove it from the steamer. Allow it to cool slightly.
Cut the dhokla into desired shapes using a knife. You can cut it into squares or diamonds.
Pour the Tempering:
Pour the prepared tempering over the cut dhokla pieces. Ensure that the tempering is evenly distributed.
Serve:
Your Instant Rava Dhokla is ready to be served! You can garnish it with chopped cilantro or grated coconut if desired.
Serve the dhokla with green chutney, tamarind chutney, or any other accompaniments of your choice.
