How to Steam Your Khaman

• In a large open vessel or a cooker, add a small amount of water.
• Place a small cooking ring or a small bowl inside the vessel or the cooker and bring it to boil.
• Take a flat plate, grease it with oil on the upper side in which the batter will be added.
• Now, add ½ tsp ENO Fruit Salt into the batter, and mix well again immediately. You will see that your batter might have grown up.
• Add the batter immediately into the oil greased plate.
• Place that plate inside the cooker or the vessel and steam it for 5 to 10 minutes on medium flame.
• If you are using a cooker, then remove the whistle and steam it. After 10 minutes, prick a toothpich into the dhokla. If it comes out clean, then your dhokla is ready.
• When it is done, remove the plate, and cut it into 1 sq inch pieces.

How to Temper your Dhokla

• In a cooking pan, take 2 tbsp oil. In the meanwhile, in a small bowl, dissolve 2 tbsp of sugar. into 200 ml of water.
• Now, put 2 tsp mustard seeds, 5 to 6 curry leaves, 1 tsp finely coriander leaves, 1 tsp salt, and finely chopped green chilies into the pan.
• Saute it for a minute and then spill it over the dhokla.
• Your khaman dhokla is ready.

Notes

• The consistency of the Dhokla batter should be perfect which is the key for a soft spongy Khaman Dhokla.
• Beat the batter as much you want. This is because, the more you whisk, the more bubbles will be formed in the batter which makes the Dhokla soft.
• After you put the batter in the baking tray, don’t pat it to set the batter. Because doing this will make the bubbles burst which in turn will make your Dhokla less spongy.
• You can use ¼ tsp baking soda instead of ENO.
