Oats Dhokla

Cultural Context

Oats Dhokla is a modern twist on the traditional Gujarati dhokla, which is typically made from fermented chickpea flour. This dish incorporates oats, making it a healthier option while retaining the light, fluffy texture characteristic of dhokla. It is often enjoyed as a snack or light meal, reflecting the Indian penchant for savory steamed dishes. With its rising popularity, Oats Dhokla has found its way into many households, especially as a nutritious breakfast or tea-time treat.

1

Add 1 cup of regular oats to a mixing jar.

2

Add 1/2 cup of fine semolina to the jar.

Grind both ingredients to a fine powder, not coarse.

In a bowl, mix 1/3 cup of yogurt and 1 cup of water to prepare the batter.

Combine the ground oats and semolina with the yogurt-water mixture to form a lump-free batter.

Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to thicken.

After 10 minutes, add 1 tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste, grated carrot, fresh cilantro, turmeric powder, and salt to taste; mix well.

8

Adjust the consistency of the batter with water if it's too thick.

9

Add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to the batter and mix gently to aerate it.

10

Grease the steaming dish with oil and pour the batter into it, spreading evenly.

11

Sprinkle some red chili powder on top for flavor and color.

12

Steam the batter for 15-20 minutes until fluffy and cooked through.

Pour the tempering over the cooled dhokla pieces.

16

Demold the dhokla carefully after it has cooled down completely.
