WHEAT DHOKLA

WHEAT DHOKLAS

                  This is my innovative idea of preparing dhokla using wheat flour. It came out very well. This receipe is same as Ragi dhokla. Only thing is I changed the main ingredient as wheat flour.     Side dish for this receipe is Tomato-Onion chutney.

It takes 5 minutes for preparation and 15 minutes for cooking.

INGREDIENTS:-

Wheat flour - 2 cups 

Broken wheat rava - 2 tbsp ( optional)

Oil - 3 tbsp (15 ml)

Curd - 3/4 cup

Season the ingredients given under seasoning and pour it over the dhoklas.

 Wheat Dhoklas are ready to serve....

Note:-

1.  Insert the tip of a knife,  (if the knife comes out clean) to check, whether the cooking is done or not, else extend the cooking time.
2.  The reason for adding fruit salt is, it keeps the dhoklas soft and spongy.
