Cooking steps for Masala Dhokla

  1. 1
    Alright, let's talk about Masala Dhokla—the snack that's as wholesome as it is mouthwatering! Imagine soft, fluffy dhoklas, kissed with the perfect blend of spices and a dash of sass. If you're looking to level up your snack game, this masala dhokla recipe is all you need.
  2. 2
    Start by mixing together semolina (sooji), besan (chickpea flour), and a pinch of salt in a large container.
  3. 3
    Add water to the mix and stir like you mean it, getting the consistency smooth and just right. Set it aside and let the magic marinate.
  4. 4
    Now comes the seasoning! Add enough salt to the batter, adjusting as needed, and feel free to splash in a bit more water if the texture needs some love. The batter should be thick but smooth—like the perfect cake batter, but for the soul.
  5. 5
    Grease your moulds with a little oil (we're not here for anything sticky), and carefully pour that golden batter into the moulds, filling them just right.
  6. 6
    Then, let them steam away on a high flame for about 15 minutes—don't rush this bit, okay? Patience is key. While those fluffy beauties are steaming, let's move on to the tadka (tempering).
  7. 7
    Heat a little oil in a pan, toss in some mustard seeds, and wait for the sizzle. As soon as those mustard seeds pop, throw in all your dry masalas—think cumin, coriander, maybe a touch of red chili for some extra flair.
  8. 8
    Add some saut ed veggies for a good crunch and color—just a minute of stir-frying will do. By now, your dhoklas should be done steaming, so gently toss them into the spiced masala mixture, giving them a nice toss to coat all that flavor.
  9. 9
    And just like that, your recipe of masala dhokla is ready to be devoured.
  10. 10
    Serve these hot and watch them disappear faster than you can say ‘yum.' These masala dhoklas are the perfect balance of soft, savory, and spicy—ideal for a snack attack, light dinner, or even as an appetizer.
