Dhokla recipe
How does one prepare dhokla?
Sumana
DHOKLA IS made by using chickpea flour (besan) by adding curd to it. Take 200 gms of besan and add sour curd along with the water. I would like to add here that the besan used for dhokla is the Bombay besan and it is a finer version of besan available easily at all grocery stores. Add a pinch of baking powder to it and if you like you could add chopped green chillies, chopped ginger and chopped green coriander for additional flavour. Let this mixture ferment overnight. The next morning it could be put in a tray and steamed like we would do for idlis. Add fried green chillies, grated fresh coconut and chopped coriander on top for garnish. Some Gujarati people also sprinkle the dhokla with sugar dissolved in water to give it a moist and sweet taste.
