Dhoklas
These are great little semolina cakes
that are steamed. They come out fluf y
and light and are delicious.
Ingredients
1 cup of Semolina
1 cup of Yoghurt
½tsp salt to taste
¼tsp turmeric
1 green chilli finely chopped
2tsp chopped coriander (cilantro)
2tsp lemon juice
1tsp Eno fruit salts ( If you don't have
Eno use baking soda mixed with citric
acid in equal quantities as that is
effectively what Eno is)
To season you will need 2tblsps of oil
and 1tsp black mustard seeds and 2
green chillis cut into slices and de
seeded so they are not too hot.
Put the semolina and yoghurt in a
mixing bowl along with the salt,
turmeric, green chilli and coriander and
mix well using a spoon. Add 2tsp of
lemon juice and mix to a batter. If it is
too thick add a little water. Let the batter
rest for about 30 minutes or more.
Grease the bottom of a cake tin with
oil and put the batter into it. Mix in 1tsp
of Eno into your mixture and stir in well.
Put the mixture into the cake tin andspread out.
Put the Dhokla into a steamer. A pan
of boiling water with a rack on the
bottom will be fine and cover the pan.
Steam your Dhokla for about 10
minutes. Check if it is cooked by putting
a fork into the Dhokla. If it comes out
dry the Dhokla is ready.
Remove the cake tin from the steamer
and allow to cool a little.
To make the seasoning add the 2
tblsps oil to a small pan then add the
mustard seeds until they pop and add the
chilli. Cook for a minute and it should be ready. Cut the Dhokla into squares or
diamond shapes. Spoon over he
seasoning and serve and enjoy. It should
be lovely and fluffy. Serve with some
chutney.
