'Dhokla', all time favourite, tasty
Gujarati breakfast!
So, today's tasty delight is, 'Dhokla'.
I have already prepared gram flour batter.
For the batter, take
a cup of gram flour and 3/4th cup curd..
..and mix it well till it's smooth enough
and keep aside for 4 to 5 hours.
It ferments well by then and 
the consistency looks perfect, like this.
It's nice and smooth.
Now, let's add other ingredients to it.
First, let's add 2-3 finely chopped green chillies.
1 tbsp crushed ginger garlic
1 tsp sugar
Salt to taste
Now, let's add 1/2 tsp baking soda.
Mix it well.
Beat it well as it gets fluffy and smooth 
after adding soda.
I have kept a kadai to heat
with some water in it..
..with a stand and a plate on it.
I have kept the plate so that 
it becomes warm.
I have greased the plate with oil.
Now, let's add the batter to the plate.
Cover it with a lid.
Let's wait for around 25 minutes
20 minutes later.
Let's check if it has steamed.
It is nicely done.
Let's switch the stove off.
Let's poke it with a knife.
Dhokla looks nice and fluffy.
So, let's check.
Nothing has stuck to the knife, 
this means that it's done.
Now, let's remove it.
We have to apply a bit of oil to the Dhokla 
on top and later some water to keep it moist.
Now, let's cut it.
Let's do the tempering now.
2-3 tbsp oil.
Oil is hot enough, 
let's add mustard to it.
1 tsp mustard seeds
20 – 25 curry leaves
And then, switch the stove off.
Add few coriander leaves.
Let the tempering cool down for a while.
It will catch fire if 
you add water immediately.
So, let it cool down.
Let's wait for 2 minutes.
After the tempering cools down.
Now, let's add some water..
..and 2 tbsp sugar.
Switch the stove on.
Let it come to a boil.
This is done boiling, 
let's switch the stove off.
Now, let's pour it on the Dhokla.
Don't pour all of it, just some.
And, garnish it with few coriander leaves.
Now, let's remove these pieces on a plate.
Dhokla is ready!
Dhokla turned out so delicious, right?
So, what will you do next?
Make this yummy Dhokla!
