- Heat the steamer by adding a glass of water on medium flame.
- Grease the thali or the steamer plate with oil.
- Just before pouring the batter into the greased thali, add the eno. Stir gently and immediately pour the batter into greased thali. Spread the batter in an even layer.
- Keep the thali in the steamer and cover the lid. Steam for about 12-15 minutes.
- Check with toothpick or knife to see if the dhokla is cooked by inserting toothpick or knife, if it comes out clean then it's cooked.
- Remove the thali from steamer and let it cool.
- Meanwhile, prepare the tempering.
- Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds (rai) and cumin seeds (jeera) when they begin to crackle turn off the flame.
- Pour the tempering over the dhokla and cut into square or triangle pieces.
- Sprinkle Special Jain Jeeravan Masala.
- Serve hot.
Note:
- After adding eno to the batter do not over mix it. Air bubbles should not escape so mix gently
- Immediately pour the batter into greased thali after adding eno.
- Instead of eno you can add ¼ tsp baking soda.
- Don’t make the batter thin or very thick. As this will change the texture of the suji dhokla.
- Keep in mind that depending on the texture of your rava, you may need to add more water.
