1

Soak the chana dal and urad dal for 5-6 hours. Soak the poha for 10 minutes.

2

Grind all the soaked items with sour curd and the required quantity of water into a smooth batter-like consistency.

3

Measure and take 2 cups of batter in a mixing bowl. Then add green chili paste, ginger paste, turmeric powder, asafetida, salt, and oil to the batter. Mix everything well.

4

Then add 2 cups of water and make the pouring consistency of the batter.

5

Preheat the steamer with a greased plate for 5 minutes.

6

Just before steaming, add the eno fruit salt and stir it.

7

Spread a thin layer of batter into the preheated steamer plate. Sprinkle pepper powder and red chili powder on it.

8

Cover and steam locho for 15-18 minutes on medium flame.

9

Meanwhile, in a grinding jar add coriander leaves, mint leaves, green chili, ginger, cumin seeds, sugar, lemon juice, salt, and 2 pieces of khaman dhokla and grind everything. Locho chutney is ready.

10

Then, in a bowl add pepper powder, roasted cumin powder, salt, chaat masala, and red chili powder, and mix everything well.

11

After 15 minutes, with the help of a toothpick check if the locho is properly cooked or not. If the toothpick comes out clean, then the locho is properly steamed.

12

Finally, scoop a ladle of steamed locho on a plate. Garnish with locho masala, onion, coriander leaves, melted butter, and sev on the top.
