Name: Lauki Dhokla
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 200 g Bottle gourd (lauki) (grated); 100 g Chickpea flour (besan); 50 g Yogurt; 1 tsp Turmeric powder; 1 tsp Eno fruit salt; 1 tsp Salt (to taste); 100 ml Water; 1 tsp Mustard seeds; 5 piece Curry leaves; 1 tbsp Oil; 1 piece Green chilies (finely chopped); 2 tbsp Coriander leaves (chopped for garnish)

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine grated bottle gourd, chickpea flour, yogurt, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add water gradually to form a smooth batter.
Just before steaming, add Eno fruit salt and mix gently.
Pour the batter into a greased steaming tray.
Steam for about 10-15 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
In a small pan, heat oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chopped green chilies. Once they splutter, pour this tempering over the steamed dhokla.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and cut into pieces.

Tips

Ensure the batter is not too thick; it should flow easily.
Serve with green chutney or sweet chutney.
