Ingredients

Serves : 3
  • 1 cup sooji (Semolina)


  • 1 med. beetroot, grated


  • 1/2 cup yoghurt


  • 1/2 tsp. salt or to taste


  • 1/2 tsp. roasted cumin powder


  • 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder


  • 1 tsp. kasuri methi (dry fenugreek leaves), crushed

  • 1 tbsp. fresh grated coconut

Directions

  • In a bowl, mix together sooji, beetroot, yoghurt, salt, ginger, turmeric powder, cumin powder, kasuri methi, 1 tbsp. oil and green chilies. Add enough water to form a thick batter. Keep aside for 30 minutes.
  • Just before steaming, add the eno fruit salt and combine well. Pour this batter onto a greased steel container and place inside a pressure cooker or steamer which already has some water in the bottom.
  • Steam without the vent (for the cooker) for 10 minutes on high flame and then 5 minutes on low flame. Set aside to cool for 5-10 minutes.
  • Demould onto a plate and cut into desired shapes. Heat oil in a pan and temper with the red chilly and mustard seeds.
  • After it stops spluttering, add the curry leaves and sesame seeds. Switch off the flame and saute till the sesame seeds changes colour.
  • Pour this tempering over the dhoklas and garnish with coconut and coriander leaves. It is ideal for a kids lunch box meal as it is healthy and steamed.
