Khatta Dhokla
Prepare Khatta Dhokla by first creating a batter using soaked rice and split urad dal. Allow the batter to ferment before steaming it just before serving.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Long grain rice or basmati rice I used basmati
- ¼ Urad dal (Split skinless black gram)
- ½ inch Ginger
- 3-4 Green chilies
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt

Instructions
- Wash rice and urad dal under running cold water till water runs clear.
- Soak them together in enough water for about 5-6 hours.
- Drain water well, add it to grinder along with yogurt, ginger and green chili.
- Grind it into a smooth paste. If needed add few tablespoons of water.
- Remove it to a bowl, add salt, mix and cover it. Batter should be thick like idli batter.
- Let it ferment for 8 hours or overnight in warm place.
- When you are ready to make dhokla, bring the water to a boil in steamer.

- Sprinkle some red chili powder, black pepper and cumin powder.
- Steam it for 10 minutes. Check by inserting a knife or toothpick in it, if it comes out clean and then it is ready.
