For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 60 grams oats (ground into flour)
• 30 grams semolina
• 30 grams yogurt
• 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon ginger paste
• 1 green chili, chopped
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• Salt to taste
• 100 ml water
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 5 curry leaves
• 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
• Fresh coriander leaves, chopped

Procedure:

• In a mixing bowl, combine ground oats flour, semolina, yogurt, turmeric powder, ginger paste, chopped green chili, salt, and lemon juice.
• Gradually add water and mix to form a smooth batter with a medium consistency. Allow the batter to rest for 10-15 minutes.:
• Grease a dhokla plate or any shallow plate with oil to prevent sticking.
• Pour the batter into the greased plate, spreading it evenly.
• Steam the batter in a steamer for about 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
• Remove the dhokla from the steamer and let it cool slightly before cutting it into pieces.
• Heat a small pan and add mustard seeds. When they start spluttering, add curry leaves and sesame seeds.
• Pour this tempering over the steamed dhokla.
• Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with green chutney or yogurt.
