Have you ever ended up with a question of how to finish
bajji/ pakora batter made of gram flour! Yes, and ended in throwing away with guilt of
wasting food! Many times it happens right!? Here is a best way to finish it off
without throwing or not making bajjis again next day:)
It is a simple dokla which can be served with a
choice of chutney!
Ingredients:
Gram

powder & water)
Curds

Small

Grated
coconut – 2 tbsp
Coconut
oil – 2 tsp
Cumin
– 1 tsp
Mustard
seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida

Method:
Mix all the ingredients except the ingredients
under Garnish & seasoning. Make a smooth batter of idli batter consistency.
Pour about a cup of water in a steamer/ idli cooker
and allow to boil.
Transfer the prepared batter into a greased plate
or thin wide dish.
Place in the steamer and cook dokla for 15-20
minutes/ until inserted fork comes out clean.
Allow cooling, once done clear the sides with a
sharp knife and invert dokla on a plate.
Top with chopped coriander, grated coconut and a
seasoning of oil, mustard, cumin, asafoetida..
Cut and serve warm with choice of chutney.
I tried the way you instructed. The dhoklas turned out nice & fluffy.
