Dhokla

🇮🇳 Indian

The world-famous steamed dhokla, mustard-crackled and spongy. The flavours of an Indian market at dusk, built on a plate. Best consumed within minutes — the crunch is the point.

Prep 16 min Cook 20 min Serves 2 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili2
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Lemon1
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the components first — chopped onions, chutneys, spice mixes in reach — because street food waits for nothing.

  2. 2

    Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.

  3. 3

    Layer on the wet elements — chutneys, yogurt, gravies — generously; restraint is for restaurants.

  4. 4

    Shower with the dry elements: chaat masala, roasted cumin, chili, and the crunchy topping — do this at the last second so it stays loud.

  5. 5

    Finish with the yogurt, one last pinch of masala, and serve before the crunch softens.

Chef's tip

Chutneys make the chaat — thin tamarind and bright green, both homemade if possible.
