    Ingredients

    • 1 cup rava/semolina (use fine variety of suji and not the coarser variety)
    • ginger-chili paste (½ inch ginger + 1 green chili – crushed and made into a paste in a mortar-pestle)
    • 1 tablespoon or
    • 1.25 tablespoon lemon juice
    • ½ teaspoon sugar
    • salt as required
    • ½ cup water or as required

    Step

    • Step 1 :

      In a mixing bowl take the below-mentioned ingredients and mix them thoroughly with a spoon. While the batter is resting and before you add eno to the batter, prepare your pans for steaming. First grease a steaming shallow pan with oil and set aside.

    • Step 2 :

      Next in a pot or a saucepan take 2 cups of water. Place a small trivet in the saucepan inside the water. Bring this water to a gentle boil on medium heat. Then add 1 teaspoon of eno or fruit salt. The addition of eno helps in leavening the batter and gives a soft fluffy texture to the suji dhokla.

    • Step 3 :

      Stir briskly and be quick to mix. Make sure the fruit salt is distributed evenly in the batter. However, don’t overdo the mixing as you don’t want the air bubbles to escape from the batter.

    • Step 4 :

      Quickly pour the batter into the prepared greased pan. So before you make the batter, grease a steaming pan very well with oil.

    • Step 5 :

      Spread the batter in the pan with a spoon. Then shake the pan to even out the batter. Place the pan on the trivet on the saucepan.

    • Step 6 :

      You can steam the rava dhokla mixture using a stovetop pressure cooker, or an electric rice cooker.

    • Step 7 :

      Cover the saucepan or pan or steamer with a lid and steam for approx 10 to 15 minutes.
