Khatta dhokla | Gluten Free Snacks | How to make Khatta Dhokla

Almost the same ingredients as this week’s Morappam, but a small twist here and the cooking method yields a totally different snack. My love for Gujarati cuisine is yet to be documented on this blog, but I had bookmarked Kanan’s recipe long ago. Early one morning my mom asked me to make something nice for the evening snack, and it was quite a surprise as she’s least fussy or demanding about food. I quickly prepped for the evening snack knowing like me, she prefers steamed food too.

Urad dal – 1/4 cup

Method:

  1. Wash and soak rice and dal for 4 hours. I soaked them in hot water in an airtight vacuum casserole to speed up the soaking. Grind to a smooth thick paste, and ferment add yoghurt ,salt and or 8 hours (I fermented for only 6 hours as it was really humid that day). 
  2. Beat well, add the soda, oil, green chilly paste, top with the spice powders, coriander leaves, mix and steam in a deep thick walled greased plate for 12-15 mins or till a fork / skewer comes clean.

    Kalyani you're making me feel hungry. Haven't made these in a long time. We usually make them along with aam ras and puri.

  13. I am with you on the love for Gujarati snacks…a Bombay thing I guess. This dhokla looks very tempting….and my attempts have usually been close to disastrous. Bookmarking this to try. Fingers crossed!

  14. I simply love this Kalyani, it has turned out so well right! I am so partial to gujju snacks..
