Instructions

Dhokla:

  • To make the Dhokla I am using Gits Dhokla mix. I steamed it in the instant pot according to the package instructions. Cook in the steam mode in the venting position. Keep an external timer and cook for 15 minutes.

  • I used store bought green chutney and date chutney.

To Serve:

  • Make small pieces of the dhokla and arrange few in a plate. Top it with yogurt, green chutney and date chutney.
  • Add onion, carrot, tomato and coriander leaves. sprinkle some kala namak (black salt), Kashmiri red chili powder and chaat masala. Squeeze in some lemon.
  • Add a generous amount of bhel mix.
  • Finally drizzle little more yogurt, green and date chutney on the top followed by onion and coriander leaves.
  • Serve it immediately.

Notes

  • Any dhokla recipe which is soft and fluffy will work. I used store bought Gits Dhokla mix.
  • Use whole milk yogurt which is not sour. the yogurt should be slightly thick but with a pourable consistency.
  • For the crunch use either bhel mix or sev.
  • Chaats can be customized to your taste. Add the toppings and chutneys as per your liking.
  • Serve the Dhokla chaat immediately for the best texture and flavor.
