Instant Rava Dhokla

Rava Dhokla used to be a regular in my home.  It's easy to make and comes out perfectly everything.  Not to forget yummy go taste too!!  I had learnt this recipe early on when I started cooking. 

Today after many years I revisited this recipe, tried it and wasn't let down as you can see from the beautiful pictures I clicked below.

Ingredients:

1 cup rava or sooji or semolina
1 cup curd
1/4 cup water if needed
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp lemon juice
Finely Chopped coriander
Finely Chopped green chillies
A pinch of turmeric

For seasoning :
2 tbsp oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
Chopped green chillies

Method:

Mix the curd and rava together along with lemon juice, salt,  turmeric,  chillies and coriander.  It should be of pouring consistency.  Add some water if required.  Set aside for 20 mins aside.  Meantime grease a pan for steaming.  In a large pan pour some water.  When it starts boiling adjust your gas to medium. Pour the rava mix in the greased pan and put in the steamer.  Steam for 10 mins.  Check with a fork or knife by inserting it.  If it comes out clean it means the dhokla is ready.

Now prepare the seasoning by heating the oil and adding the mustard seeds.  Once they crackle add the chillies and switch off the flame.  Pour it over the dhokla and cut it into square pieces.

Enjoy your hot steaming dhoklas with green coriander chutney
