Khatta Dhokla / Rice Urad Dal Dhokla

Hello Friends,

Dhokla is originated in Gujarat and spread in the world. My family can’t get enough of it :). Every family has their own recipe and over the years I have perfected mine. It is healthy as it is steamed not fried. You can eat it as main dish or appetizer and any time of the day.

Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Cooking Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

Rice – 2 cups
Urad dal – ½ cup
Soya bean – 1/5 cup

Ginger – 1 inch
Garlic – 3 to 4 cloves
Yogurt/Curd – 1/2 cup
Oil – 2 tbsp
Red chili powder
Black pepper powder

Procedure:

1. Soak Rice, urad dal, soya bean and fenugreek seed in water for 4-5 hrs.
2. Grind it in Mixer to a fine paste, add salt and leave it in a warm place to ferment overnight.

Enjoy it hot. If you leave leftover in the fridge, microwave it before eating.

Tip: You can also stir fry left over Dhokla. Cut the Dhokla in small pieces. Heat the oil in fry pan, add mustard seed and sesame seeds. When mustard seeds cracks, add the Dhokla pieces and stir. Cook  Dhokla on a low heat lid covered and stir occasionally. You can also add sugar while it is cooking.

Hope you enjoy making and eating it.
