Method for Dhokla:

Take besan or chickpea flour in a bowl.

Add a pinch of turmeric to it.

Add some sugar to the same bowl

Then add some salt to it.

Mix it properly

Now add some water to the mixture

Stir continuously for 2 to 3 minutes to make a smooth batter.

Stir till it becomes a free flow batter

Now add baking soda to the smooth batter.

Add the lemon juice to the batter

Stir immediately and completely mix everything. The better you mix, the softer the dhoklas will be.

Now pour the smooth batter in a baking tin.

Place the tray in a pan with some water in it. This will help the steaming process.

Cover the lid and let it steam for 15 to 20 minutes.

Tadka and final touch for Dhokla

Meanwhile, let’s prepare the tadka or tempering for the dhoklas.

Heat some oil in a pan.

Add some mustard seeds to the hot oil.

Then add cumin seeds to it.

As the dry spices sputter add 8 to 10 curry leaves to the oil.

Also add green chilies cut lengthwise from the middle.

Now pour some water to the tempering.

Add sugar to the mixture.

Also add some salt and stir the mixture.

Once the mixture starts boiling you can switch off the flame.

Our Tadka or tempering is ready

Now, check the dhoklas. If they are nice and fluffy, your dhoklas are ready for tempering. Insert a toothpick to check if your dhoklas are done. If the tooth pick comes out clean, you can remove the tray.

Now pour the tadka on the dhokla and Let the dhokla soak the tempering for about 10 to 15 minutes.

You can shape the dhoklas bu cutting out small portions with a knife. Here I have made square dhoklas.

Now you can serve hot spongy Dhoklas for breakfast.
