 As Edison said, " I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work"

I was trying to make good "Dhokla" since long time , now I know seven different ways that won't work.Here is the formula to make Awesome "Dhokla". 

You will need below items:

1) Gram Flour (Besan) -2 Cups
2) Semolina (Suji) - 1 table spoon
3) ENO powder -2 table spoon
4) Green chilly - 2 pieces
5) Ginger and green chilly paste - 1 table spoon
6) Curry leaves (Kadi Patta)-  6-7 pieces
7) Mustard seeds - 1 table spoon
8) Salt - 1/2 table spoon
9) Water - 1 cup
10) Oil - 1 table spoon


Let's start the experiment ..

Mix the gram flour, salt ,semolina ,ginger and green chilly paste with water. Make a smooth paste and keep it aside.Heat the water in the pressure cooker.Now add the ENO powder in the paste and immediately pour the mixture in a greased  container. Place the container in the cooker and cook in steam for 20 mintues.Take out the container and keep it aside for cooling. Once it is cooled cut the "Dhokla" into pieces, take out of container.
