MICROWAVE DHOKLA !!!!

Now we can prepare the very famous Gujarati snack Khaman Dhokla easily in microwave. That too within 1/2 an hour. I adopted this recipe from NISHAMADHULIKA.COM.

INGREDIENTS:-

For making dhokla mixture:-

besan - 1cup
semolina - 1/4 cup
salt - 3/4 tsp
sugar - 2tsp
lemon juice - 3 tsp
ENO fruit salt - 1 tsp
ginger, grated - 1/2 inch (i skipped this)

For making tadka:-

green chilly, slit lenghtwise - 2
mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
cumin seeds - 1/2 tsp
sesame seeds - 1 tsp(optional)
curry leaves - 5-6
coriander leaves, chopped - 1tbsp
grated coconut - 1 tbsp
oil - 1 tbsp
water - 1/2 cup

HOW TO MAKE DHOKLA IN M/W:-

1. Take besan+semolina in any bowl & add little water at a time.( i added 3/4 cup of water to make this mixture). Stir until all lumps get dissolved. The batter should not be too thick or too thin in consistency.
2.  Add ginger(i didn't add)+salt+1 tsp sugar in the gram flour batter. Also add lime juice in the batter. Keep it aside for 20 mins so that batter become fluffy.

3. After 20 mins add ENO fruit salt & mix really well. Batter seems to become fluffy. Now pour the batter into greased m/w safe bowl & m/w it for 4 mins. Give 2 mins standing time. Insert knife, if it comes out clean 
your m/w dhokla is ready.

4. Now unmould it on a serving plate & cut it into equal parts.

HOW TO MAKE TADKA :-

1. For making tadka, take some oil in a pan & place it on flame for heating. 
2. Add black mustard seeds+cumin seeds+sesame seeds.
3. When mustard seeds starts spluttering add curry leaves+green chillies & fry until they change their colour slightly.
4. Now add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of water+ 1tsp sugar as well. Cook until water starts boiling & sugar melts completely.
5. Pour this evenly on dhokla. Dhokla absorbs water & becomes soggy.
6. Garnish with coriander leaves & grated coconut.
7. Your m/w dhokla is ready to eat.

HAPPY COOKING :))))))

and here's a tip:-

1. We have used lemon juice but tartaric powder can also be used. For this take 1 tsp powder & dissolve it in water. 

2. You can also use 1 cup curd for making dhokla. Mix besan+semolina in curd instead of water.
