Mix Dhokla

Ingredients:

For Yellow Dhokla
1/2 cup besan flour 
1/4 tsp fruit salt (Soda) 
1/4 cup curds  
1 tsp turmeric powder 
Salt to taste 

For White Dhokla 
3/4 cup rava 
1 tsp green chilies paste 
1/4 cup fresh curds  
1/4 tsp fruit salt (Soda)  
Salt to taste 


Method:

Prepare two batters by mixing the ingredients of yellow dhokla and white dhokla (except fruit salt) in separate bowls. Pour some water in a pressure cooker / idli steamer and allow it to boil. Grease a deep flat bottomed vessel (Thali) with oil. Make sure the vessel can fit into the cooker. Take some hot water in a cup, add 1/2 tsp oil and the baking soda, pour it into the bowl of yellow batter and stir well till froth appears. This ensures the dhokla becomes soft and fluffy. Then spread the green chutney over it and pour the white batter over it by repeating the same process as with the yellow batter and steam for 10 min. Allow it to cool. Cut square shapes or shapes like diamonds and serve hot with Green coriander chutney and tamarind chutney
