Method:
Soak both the dals separately for
five hours.
Remove skin of moong dal as much as
possible. Then grind to a paste.
Mix both the pastes with other ingredients.
Beat mixture with hands to make it
light and fluffy. Then cover with
a tight lid and keep aside in a warm
place for
about five hours to ferment.
Now add oil, water and citric acid
in a small vessel.Heat it. When it
starts boiling, remove from fire and
add soda bicarb. due to soda bi carb
dhoklas become soft .
Stir with a spoon and pour it in the
fermented batter. Mix well.
Take a big vessel, to hold an eight
inches diameter deep plate. Put about
four cups of water in it and a metal
ring in the centre to put the plate
on. Cover with a tight lid and boil
water. Meanwhile grease the plate
with oil and pour the batter. Put
it inside on the ring. Cover and steam
for 15 minutes. The batter will rise
and make spongy dhoklas. Take out
carefully from inside and allow to
cool for 10 minutes.
Cut square pieces and take out in
a serving plate.
Prepare tempering by heating oil and
rai
When the seeds stop spluttering, add
til and cover with a lid. Switch off
gas and hold till spluttering stops.
Pour over dhoklas evenly.
Sprinkle coriander leaves. One can
serve khaman dhoklas hot or cold
with green coriander chutney.
