When talking about Gujarati cuisine, one of the first things that comes to mind is a plate of tasty dhoklas. Coming with a soft and spongy texture that is clearly hard to resist, the yummy snack is a perfect choice for a healthy meal, especially for breakfasts. Besides Gujarat, the love for dhokla is extended to other parts of the country as well and people also make them at home. While dhoklas are usually prepared with the traditional recipe, one can opt to add an interesting ‘desi tadka’ to the traditional dish and make them even tastier.
Unique dhokla recipes:
Dhokla Chaat:
One of the most popular dhokla recipes is making a dhokla chaat. Those who love chaat as a snack can anytime prepare this dish with leftover dhokla. All you need to do is top your dhokla pieces with yoghurt, mint leaves, tamarind chutney, bhujiya, chopped onions, chillies, and veggies of your choice. This will not only become a lot more flavourful but also taste delicious.
Rasiya Dhokla:
Another interesting way to make the best use of leftover dhokla is by preparing it with gravy. In this case, the pieces of dhokla need to be served with a gravy prepared with a tamarind-jaggery base. It not only tastes good but also comes with a unique presentation. Rasiya dhokla can be enjoyed with a cup of tea or served to guests at a dinner party.
Amiri Khaman Dhokla:
Going by the traditional Gujarati way, you can also prepare Amiri Khaman Dhokla with the use of leftover dhokla. For this, you need to cut the dhokla into small pieces and top them up with spicy tempering, grated coconut, pomegranate seeds, and bhujiya for some extra crunch. The result is a lovely burst of crunch and textures that will instantly make you fall in love with it.
Sandwich Dhokla:
Sandwich dhokla is yet another popular dish that you can prepare easily. For this, you need to take dhokla batter, add salt to it, and prepare it in the steamer. Later, prepare the staffing with corn kernels, capsicum, cottage cheese, green chillies, chaat masala, coriander leaves, and salt, and mix well. Put the stuffing between two pieces of dhokla, just like a sandwich and then similarly grill them on a nonstick pan.
Dhokla pizza:
In case you are a pizza lover, you can also prepare dhokla pizza. Traditionally, prepare your dhokla; however, in the form of round pizza breads. For the topping, saute capsicum, corn, and green chillies, with dry oregano, salt, black pepper, and pizza sauce, and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Next, spread the pizza sauce on the dhokla, and add the topping and cheese. Put the prepared dhokla pizza on a nonstick pan and cook on low heat till the cheese melts.
