KHAMAN DHOKLA AND GREEN CHUTNEY

     The past two weeks went very busy as kids are at home on vacation. Finally today school reopened and i had time to post one of my favorite snack.  I have tried this a few times and this time i thought of blogging this. I learnt this from HERE, but she gave the recipe for suji dhokla, but i replace with besan,since i love this khaman dhokla.

INGREDIENTS FOR MAKING DHOKLA:

BESAN FLOUR	1 CUP
CURD	1 CUP
SALT	AS NEEDED
GREEN CHILLI	1 NO(CHOPPED)
TURMERIC POWDER	A PINCH
SUGAR	1/2 TSP
ENO FRUIT SALT	1 AND 1/2 TSP
LEMON JUICE	2 TSP
OIL	2 TSP
MUSTARD SEEDS	1/2 TSP
GREEN CHILLI	2 NOS(CUT VERTICALLY AND DESEED IT)
WATER	1-2 TBLSP

• In a wide vessel, add the besan,curd,chopped green chilli, turmeric powder,salt , sugar and lemon juice and mix well without any lumps.
• Dont add any water to it.
• The curd will be quite enough to make the paste.

• Cover it with a lid and keep it aside for 1/2 an hour to 1 hour.
• I kept for an hour.
• After an hour, grease a wide mouthed kadai with little oil.
• Transfer the mixture to it.
• Just add the ENO FRUIT SALT .
• Mix well.
• Keep the steamer hot before adding eno salt to it.

• The consistency will be like idli batter.
• Normally after adding Eno salt the mixture will sightly loosen.

Here is the picture of ENO SALT BOTTLE:

• If u find it very thick,can add 1 or 2 tblsp of water.
• Steam this mixture for 10 –12 minutes.
• Check whether it is completely cooked ,by inserting a knife or fork into the vessel.

• Allow it to cool.
• After 2- 4 mins, just tilt the vessel fully to a plate .
• Take it out carefully.

• In a kadai, add oil and add the mustard seeds and the vertically slit deseeded green chillie.
• When it crackles, pout it over the dhokla.

• Cut into square or diamond shapes.

• Serve with green chutney.

 

I DISCARDED THE  MOST OF THE CHILLI AFTER TEMPERING,SINCE MY HUBBY DOESN’T LIKE IT.
