White Dhokla

Today 's Recipe is White Dhokla .This is similar to Idli but tastes little different .
This can consumed as Breakfast/Snack along with any type of chutney.
I love Traditional Dhokla(Besan) a lot ,but after tasting this i like this as well.
This is really a healthy breakfast as it cosumes less Oil and also as we use Urad Dal ,Channa Dal which is good for health.

As usual my  MIL taught me this Dhokla and she prepares it very well.

Ingredients:
Rice - 4 Cups
Urad Dal- 1 Cup
Channa Dal-1 Cup

Seasoning :
Oil- 4 Tsp
Mustard-1/2 Tsp
Cumin-1/2 Tsp
Urad dal-1 Tsp
Curry Leaves
Hing- a pinch
Green Chillies - 8
Garlic Pods- 15
Turmeric

Method:
  • Wash Rice ,Urad Dal and Channa Dal thoroughly and Soak in water Overnight /12 Hours in separate containers 
  • After 12 Hours ,drain the water and Grind them separately .
  • Gring urad dal,Channa Dal to a smooth paste separately
  • Grind Rice to thick batter .It should be like Rava .While Grinding Rice do not add too much of water.
  • Mix all the batter and add Salt and Mix well with hands and leave it for 12 Hours
  • After 12 Hours ,adjust the salt and little water .Optionally you can little Soda
  • Now Grease the idli plates(Flat Plates ,Not Round idli Plates) with Oil  and switch on the steamer with enough water.This is similar to Thatte Idli /Plate idli
  • Pour the idli batter in the idli plates and place all the idli plates and steam for 10-12 mins and then Leave it for 2-3 Mins
  • Meanwhile heat Oil in a small pan ,crackle mustar seeds,Cumin,Hing and Curry Leaves .Fry for half a minute
