Food Tatwa

Being in land of missiles…errr….remember 3 idiots yes the MISSILES i mean are dhokla, khakra, fafda, gathiya, well i never felt that they are missiles as i love these snacks or what gujju’s call them “farsan” the ultimate namkin.
If u order a thali it accompanies the ‘farsan’ for sure so gujjus cant skip this be it any occasion, a regular thalli or a chai ki pyali, a marriage function or railway junction….

my aai cooks yum dhoklas, i will try them too but this generation which is always in hurry I thought of trying the instant version first. as it is microwave is there, soda is there so why waste and of course mom dont worry will try the traditional version too soon.

so here’s the instant dhokla to save time but relish tongue.

Dhokla batter

1 big cofee mug of besan,

1 big coffee mug of water ( same )

1/2 tea spoon citric acid crystal

salt n sugar as per taste

mix all well..so that there are no lumps

1 sachet of non-flavored eno ( fruit salt )

pour it on the batter and mix it vigorously….batter will rise almost double.

pour it in about 6 inches greased microwave plate

microwave it on high for 3.5 to 4 mins

then cut it into pieces after a few minutes of resting out of the oven….

Tempering
mustard seeds, hing , red dry chilli n curry leaves

ENJOY !!
