If you are a bit more adventurous, you can try making
dhoklas.
1 cup besan
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 cup butter milk
1 tsp rava
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp coconut(optional)
Salt to taste
Soda bi carb a pinch
Mix all the ingredients except lemon juice and butter milk thoroughly. Add the lemon juice. Add butter milk little at a time stirring the mixture constantly. Add enough butter milk to get a dosa batter consistency.
Grease a plate and pour the mixture and steam for 7 minutes. Heat 1 tsp of oil, add hing, mustard, 1 tsp green chillies 1 tsp of ginger. Before pouring it onto the dokla, add 1 tbsp of water and pour on dhokla. Cut the dhokla into squares

there is one more thing one can do with besan--- make gattas. this is something the rajasthanis use in place of vegetables in curries, kadhis etc. try to find the recipe from authentic rajasthanis

I have bee making dhoklas for a long time. In order to get pure dhokla flavour, its better to add ginger and green chilli paste, hing as well.
ReplyDeleteIf u add eno just before steaming the mixture, you can practically get same result as u get in market.
To make dholkas really soft, add yogurt instead of butter milk and water.
I get compliments everytime i make it, and some don't believe if its homemade.
