  • 6-7 tbsp oil

Instructions

  • 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.
  • Start by mixing together semolina (sooji), besan (chickpea flour), and a pinch of salt in a large container.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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).
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • And just like that, your recipe of masala dhokla is ready to be devoured.
  • 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.
