One of the easiest, healthiest & tastiest rava dhokla dish

Dhokla is a vegetarian snack which can be served for breakfast, main course and even for evening snacks. This recipe is an alternative option for all dhokla lovers who have been facing digestion issues due to Besan, as this is prepared from sooji.

Typically dhoklas are prepared from besan which can be uncomfortable for digestion. Sooji dhoklas are much healthier and can make you feel light throughout the day.

These can be served with green chutney but I prefer serving this with Curd Chutney which is going to enhance the taste of dhoklas more.

Ingredients:

3 small cups sooji

1 cup curd

1/2 water (or as required)

1 tsp baking soda

1 tsp oil

1 potato (medium size) - sliced

2 green chillies

1 inch ginger

2 cloves of garlic

Salt as per taste

For Tempering:

1 tsp Oil

1/4 tsp mustard seeds

1/2 seasame seeds

2 green chillies, sliced

8-10 leaves of curry leaves

Coriander leaves - chopped

Directions:

1. Add potato, green chillies, garlic, ginger in a blender and make a smooth batter. Add curd to the same jar and blend once again. Keep it aside.

2. Mix rava (sooji), batter and add salt as per taste.

3. Form a thick batter and let it rest for 15-20 min. Add water if required. Should be similar to idli batter consistency. 

4. Then add 1 tsp oil to it and mix well.

5. Meanwhile add 3 glasses of water in large pan and keep it for boiling to steam-cook the dhokla.

6. Add 1 tsp of baking soda to the batter and mix gently till the batter turns frothy.

7. Transfer the batter to the greased plate and keep for steam for 15 - 20 min., on a medium flame. Cover the pan with the lid and in between insert a knife or toothpick to check if it is cooked. The knife should come out clean.

8. Now cool it down to room temperature and flip plate on other plate. Slice them as per your choice.

Preparing the tempering:

1. Heat oil and add mustard seeds to it, let it splutter.

2. To it add sesame seeds, green chillies and curry leaves. Let all splutter and spread it over sliced dhoklas.
