Method of Preparation:
Mix all the ingredients except eno and citric
acid till light and fluffy. Grease a flat plan with a little oil. Boil 2 glasses of water in a
pressure cooker.
Add the eno and citric acid to the rest of the ingredients. This
will form a thick batter. Pour this batter into the greased pan or tray. Keep this tray into the cooker with lid on it. Steam
for 15-25 minutes till a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Do not
keep the weights of the cooker. Remove the pan from the cooker.
Season mustard seeds, green
chillies and curry leaves in oil. Pour the seasoning over the Dhokla. Ganish with lots
of coriander and grated dry coconut. Cut into pieces and serve hot with
any tangy chutney or just tomato sauce.
Note : Instead of eno,
dissolve citric acid and 1tsp sugar in 1 cup of water. Pour this along with
seasoning over the dhokla.
