Khatta Dhokla

These khatta dhoklas are very quick and easy to make. Although dhoklas taste good at room temperature too, serve them hot with green chutney and tea for a classic and complete package!

Preparation Time: 5 minutes. Cooking Time: 15 minutes. Serves: 4.

2 cups readymade idli batter
Salt to taste
¼ tsp asafoetida (hing)
2 tsp ginger green chilli (adrak- mirchi) paste
2 tbsp curds (dahi)
2 tbsp rice flour (chawal ka aata)
1 tbsp oil
1 tsp fruit salt
1 tsp coarsely crushed black pepper powder
Oil for greasing and smearing

For Serving
Green chutney

1. Grease a 175 mm. (7") diameter thali using a little oil.
2. Combine the idli batter, salt, asafoetida, ginger-green chilli paste, curds and rice flour in a bowl and mix well.
3. Add the oil and mix again.
4. Just before steaming, sprinkle the fruit salt and add 2 tsp of water over the batter.
5. When the bubbles form, mix gently.
6. Divide the batter into 2 equal portions.
7. Pour one portion of the batter immediately into the greased thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread it evenly to make an even layer.
8. Sprinkle ½ tsp of coarsely crushed pepper powder evenly over it and steam in a steamer for 7 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked.
9. Smear little oil on top, cool slightly and cut into diamond shaped equal pieces.
10. Repeat steps 7 to 9 to make 1 more thali.
