Ingredients

Instructions

1. Step 1 — Make batter (≈5 mins): In a bowl, whisk together gram flour, semolina, yogurt, moringa powder, turmeric, salt, and water until smooth. Let the batter rest briefly. Just before steaming, sprinkle the eno fruit salt over the batter and fold gently to aerate.
2. Step 2 — Steam (≈15 mins): Grease a dhokla or steaming tin lightly with oil. Pour the batter in and steam in a preheated steamer for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean and the dhokla is spongy.
3. Step 3 — Temper (≈5 mins): Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add curry leaves and pour this tempering evenly over the steamed dhokla. Allow to cool slightly, cut into squares, and serve with chutney.

Tips

• Add the eno right before steaming for maximum fluffiness — do not overmix after adding it.
• If you don't have eno, use baking soda (½ tsp) with 1 tsp lemon juice as an alternative added just before steaming.
• Garnish with grated coconut and chopped coriander for extra flavor and texture.
