Khaman Dhokla

This is the first time I have tried making Khaman Dhokla at home. I have always used the Ready to make version but obviously this is so much tastier.

Recipe: Sanjeev Kapoor

2 cups gram flour, sieved
1 cup yogurt, preferably sour
1 tsp ginger and chillies, paste ( If you do not have the paste, use chillies and ginger)
1/2 tsp turmeric
2 tbsps oil
1 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp baking soda
Salt to taste
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
Fresh grated coconut
Fresh chopped coriander leaves

• In a bowl, add yogurt and warm water to the gram flour and mix with out any lumps
• Mix in the salt and leave it on the side to ferment for 3 hours
• After it has fermented, add turmeric and ginger chilli paste
• Whisk lemon juice, baking soda, and 1 tsp of oil. Mix in with the fermented batter
• Grease a plate and pour the batter. Steam it for about ten minutes
• After it has cooled down, cut into squares
• Heat a pan and fry mustard seeds in oil until they splutter
• Pour the mixture on top of the steam cooked dhoklas.
• Garnish with coriander leaves and grated coconut
