"Fastest" First to get over first- Instant Rava Dhokla!

Kem chho! Majama chho!

No, this not my attempt of trying out Gujarati speaking but an easy way for today's jet age mothers to create and serve something fast which is yummy and nutritious too.

I have found Instant Rava Dhokla to be one of the answers to those.

Ingredients:
1 bowl baarik rava (sooji)
1 bowl dahi (curd) in case sour the better the instant dhokla to taste
2 green chillies
small portion of ginger
1 tsp sugar
Pinch of salt to taste
Pinch of baking soda powder
2 tsp ghee

For Garnish:
Chopped coriander leaves
Mustard seeds
3-4 curry leaves
Pinch of hing (Asafoetida)


Recipe:
Take a big bowl and add the portion of rava to it. Add the whisked curd to it and mix well. If found too thick, add a little water to it.

Make a fine paste of ginger and chillies and add this to the rava and curd mixture.

Add salt, baking soda, sugar to the mixture till no lumps are seen.

Take a flat container/cooking vessel which can easily fit in a pressure cooker.

Coat this vessel with ghee well.

Add the rava curd mixture and spread it on the flat vessel coated with ghee.

Put this flat container inside a pressure cooker and remove the whistle on the pressure cooker so that it acts as a steamer. On the flame.

Let the mixture in container kept in the pressure cooker steam for 15-18 minutes.

To check if the instant dhokla is ready insert a knife in the centre of the container which is filled with mixture and take it out. If it comes out clean the dhokla is cooked proper and can be removed to cool. Otherwise, let it seem for 3-5 minutes more.

Once removed from steamer and cooled, we can garnish it.

For preparing the garnish, take a small pan add 1 tsp of ghee to it. Add mustard seeds, curry leaves, hing. Once splutters, remove from flame and put it over the cooled cooked dhokla. Also garnish it with chopped coriander.

Cut the dhokla in flat container in diamond shape and serve with green coriander chutney.

Instant rava dhokla at your service!
