Regular followers of the blog will know my love for dholkas! I had to make one with millets! My first choice was to make it with Ragi flour. Then the red jowar that I had got sat on the kitchen counter begging to be used!
I had some jowar flour that I used to prepare the Jowar Ladoo so used that to make this dhokla.
Since I was not sure how it would taste, I did not click step by step pictures.I was actually surprised to see how good it tasted! It was more filling than the regular dhokla. In fact, I actually skipped dinner after having this as a tea time snack!
It was liked by all and I want to make this again for them and also click proper pictures for this post.
Here are some other Dhokla recipes that I have tried in the past…
- Quick sweet corn carrot dhokla
- Beetroot dhokla
- Raswala Dhokla
- Palak dhokla – 2 ways /methods / varieties
- Sweet corn rawa dhokla
- Microwave green peas dhokla
- Gujarati Idada
- Poha dhokla
- Oats Dhokla
Here is how to prepare Jowar Dhokla Recipe
I used:
Jowar flour-1 cup
Besan-1/2 cup
Curd / yogurt- 1 cup
Green chili paste- 1 teaspoon
Salt to taste
Eno fruit salt- 1 teaspoon / 1 sachet
For seasoning:
Oil-2 teaspoons
Mustard seeds-1 teaspoon
Sesame seeds-2 teaspoons
Cumin seeds-1/2 teaspoon
- Grease a square tin / plate and keep aside
- Heat water in a steamer / cooker.
- In a bowl take the jowar flour,besan, green chili paste, salt and mix well.
- Add yogurts and whisk so that there are no lumps. Add water if the mixture is too thick.
- Add Eno and pour a teaspoon of water over it.. It will bubble up. Mix gently.
- Immediately pour into a greased plate / tray and tap gently.
- Place the tray inside the steamer and steam cook for 20-25 minutes or till a skewer inserted int he center comes out clean. If cooking inside a pressure cooker, do not use the nozzle stopper or weight.
- Remove the plate / tray from the steamer and let it cool for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile,heat oil and add mustard, sesame seeds and cumin seeds.Once the seasoning splutters, pour over the dhoklas.
- Spread gently and remove the squares from the tray / plate
Serve garnished with coriander leaves.
Note:
- I used red jowar hence the dark colored dhoklas. You can use the regular jowar as well.
- Grated coconut can be used as a garnish.
- I used both black and white sesame seeds. You can use both or any one of these.
