Ingredients for Besan Dhokla
Grease the dhokla pan with oil and keep aside. Also add 2 cups of water in the steamer or a cooking pan. Put it on flames till it comes to boil. Now lower the flames to medium.
In a big bowl, add gram flour (besan) and mix with semolina (rava), grated ginger and salt. Mix yogurt in it. Mix with the help of a fork or hand blender so that there are no lumps. Add water and mix well. Add oil.
While water is boiling, add eno powder in the gram flour batter, mix slightly and immediately pour it in the greased pan. After adding eno powder, the batter rises to double, dhokla pan should be big enough so that all the batter can be placed in the pan at once and still half of the pan is empty.
Now place a stand in the steamer so that the dhokla pan remains at a height from the bottom of the steamer. Steam cook it for 10 minutes.
After that, insert a sharp knife or some thin stick in it and take it out, if that knife or stick comes out clean, dhokla is ready else let it cook further for 2 minutes. When dhokla is ready, keep aside it for cooling completely. Now put it in a plate.
Now prepare tempering for dhokla. In a frying pan, heat the oil. Leave mustard seeds in it. Also add asafetida and curry leaves. When mustard seeds splutter, add slit green chill and water in it. Also add sugar now. Let the water come to boil. Turn the flames off.
Keep tempering aside for cooling down. When it is cool enough, pour this tempering on it. Dhokla is ready.
Keep it in refrigerator for 30 minutes. Serve it cold.
