Instant White Dhokla#Alphabet Challenge

Homemade Instant White Dhokla is breakfast/snack item of the state of Gujarat in India. Since dhokla goes through a steaming process, it is healthy. It is a perfect addition to your weight loss plan because it is rich in protein, fiber, and other nutrients. It is ideal for breakfast or an evening snack option.

Cup Measurement 1 Cup = 200Ml
Ingredients
1 Cup Raw Rice
½ Cup Poha
½ Cup Yogurt
¼ Cup Fine Rawa / Semolina
½ Teaspoon Salt or to taste
1 Sachet Eno Fruit Salt or 1 Teaspoon
For The Tadka
2 Tablespoon Oil
1 Teaspoon Mustard Seeds
2 Green Chillies - slit
1 Teaspoon Sesame Seeds
1 Teaspoon Chopped Coriander - optional
1 Teaspoon Sugar
½ Cup Water 
Method

Wash the rice well. Soak the rice and poha for an hour or maximum 3 hours. After that drain all the water. Grind the rice and poha with the yogurt to a fine paste. Remove this into a bowl, mix the fine rawa and keep it aside for 15 to 20 minutes. 

In the meantime grease an 8 inch plate well with oil. Keep a steamer ready with enough water to steam the dhokla. When the water begins to boil place the plate on the stand.

After 20 minutes add the salt and eno and whisk it well till it turns frothy. Pour this into the plate. Sprinkle a bit of chilly powder on top. Cover the lid with a clean cloth so that the water does not fall on the dhokla and make it soggy. 

Steam on medium high flame for 15 to 20 minutes or until a knife or tooth pick inserted comes out clean. Switch off the flame. Let the dhokla cool. When it cools cut into pieces.
To Make The Tadka

Heat oil in a pan add the mustard seed, when they splutter add in green chillies and fry for a minute add the water and sugar bring this to a rolling boil add the coriander leaves, sesame seeds. Pour this evenly on the cut dhokla. Let is soak for few minutes. Serve hot with chutney. 
My Notes

If you do not have fine semolina then use the regular one only pulse it for 2 or 3 times in the mixer.
If you are making a double batch and do not have a dhokla stand wherein you can steam 2 -3 plates at a time. Then divide the batter in two parts. Add the eno to one batch at time and steam when that is steamed then add the eno to the second batch. You have to be quick once you add the eno or else the dhokla will not be fluffy.
This white dhokla is a thin layer. So do not add too much batter in the plate.
