Soaking and fermenting the batter
Steaming the Dhoklas
Channa Dal Dhokla
Ingredients Needed
For Fermentation
Channa Dal / Bengal Gram - 1/2 cup
Curds / Yoghurt - 2 -3 tbsp
Sugar - 1 tsp
For the Dhokla
Water - 1 cup
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Salt to taste
Green chillies, Ginger paste -1 tsp
Red Chili powder - 3/4 tsp
Coriander leaves, chopped - 2 tbsp
Turmeric a pinch
Salt to taste
Soda bi-carb - 1 tsp
For the tempering:
Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
Green chillies - 1 medium
Hing a pinch
Garnish:
Coconut, grated
Coriander leaves, chopped
Notes:
The first batch I made I added less than the required soda, this made it not as spongy as it should be. Be sure to add at least 1 tsp or a little more for the Dhokla to be spongy.
However this Dhokla is surely soft and very tasty.
This healthy dhokla is not only a great option for Diabetics, it can be served for your kid's snack. Of course, my boys won't try, however, Konda loves such snacks.

They look good. Valli when I made khaman, I had fermented it overnight and it was fine. I think people in India had to reduce the fermentation time because of the hot climate.
