Serves: 56 people

Ingredients:
URAD DAL | उरद दाल 1/2 CUP
KOLUM RICE | कोलम चावल 1.5 CUPS
FENUGREEK SEED | मेथी के बीज 1/2 TSP
POHA | पोहा 1/2 CUP
SOUR CURD | खट्टा दही 2 TBSP
WATER | पानी 1/2 CUP
ASAFOETIDA | हींग 1/4 TSP
SUGAR | शक्कर 1/2 TBSP
GINGER CHILLI PASTE | अदरक मिर्च की पेस्ट 1.5 TBSP
OIL | तेल 2 TBSP (FOR BATTER)
BAKING SODA | बेकिंग सोडा 1/4 TSP
SALT | नमक TO TASTE
OIL | तेल AS REQUIRED (FOR BRUSHING)
BLACK PEPPERCORNS | साबुत काली मिर्च A PINCH (CRUSHED)
Method:
Add the rice & dal into a large bowl & wash them with water until it runs clear, further add the fenugreek seeds into the same bowl, soak the dal & rice for 45 hours.
Once the dal & rice have soaked, add the poha into a small sieve or a bowl, wash them & transfer them into the same bowl as the dal & rice, let the poha soak for 510 minutes.
Further discard the water & add all the soaked ingredients into a mixer grinder jar along with sour curd & water, grind everything into a semi fine paste, once grinded the batter should feel like fine semolina when you press & feel it between your fingers.
Transfer the batter into a cooker or a stock pot & add asafoetida & sugar, whisk the batter well using a whisk for 12 minutes.
Cover the cooker or the stock pot with a lid & keep it in a warm place to ferment, the duration of the fermentation will depend upon the room temperature & the weather, if the weather is cold then the batter will take at least 1215 hours or more to ferment properly if kept in a warm place. During summers the batter will ferment within 810 hours.
Once fermented the batter will puff up, at this stage set the dhokla steamer over high flame & bring the water to a boil, once the water comes to a boil & the steamer is ready, you can continue to season the batter with the further process.
Add the ginger chilli paste, oil, baking soda & salt into the batter & mix everything well very gently.
Brush the dhokla steaming plates with oil & pour the batter into the plates according to your preference of thickness.
Move the plates around to spread the batter evenly on the plate & then tap them gently on the kitchen platform.
Sprinkle some freshly crushed black peppercorns & place them into the steamer, cover & steam the dhoklas over high flame for 1012 minutes. The steaming time will depend on the thickness of the batter you have poured, if you are making thin dhoklas then they will steam within 810 minutes & if you are making thick dhoklas then they will take upto 1215 minutes.
To check if they are done, open the lid & touch the surface of the dhokla, if it’s not sticky & a knife inserted comes out clean then the dhoklas are ready.
Remove them from the steamer & immediately brush the surface with oil & let them cool down slightly before cutting them.
Further cut the dhoklas into squares or diamonds & remove them from the steaming plate using a flat spatula.
Your super soft & spongy white dhoklas are ready, serve them hot with some chutney.
