....................................

Instant dhokla

Besan flour 1 1/2 cups
haldi
ginger garlic paste 2 tsp
sugar 2 tbsp
green chillies 2
cooking soda 1/4 tsp
lemon juice 2 tsp
mustard 1 tsp
eno salt 1 1/2 tbsp
water 1 cup
oil 3 tbsp
salt

Mix 2 tbsp of oil with a cup of water alongwith ginger garlic pastes, salt, soda and 1 tbsp of sugar well with besan flour.

With the above flour mixture, add fruit salt, juice mix well to and immediately pour on a microwaveable glass dish. Microwave it for 6 minutes.

Earlier, grease the dish well with oil(bottom as well as the sides shd be greased well). After you put the eno salt, the batter will rise up slightly and will be fluffy.

Season in 1 tbsp of oil with mustard, chillies, switch it off; add half cup of water, remaining 1 tbsp of sugar mix well. Pour this seasoning mixture on the cooked dhokla mixture.

Adding water will make it more soft and finally, garnish with coriander leaves or dessicated coconut. Start making pieces after 30 mts so that it will absorb the water.

Tip: The right consistency is that after cooking, the dhokla will come away from the edge and stay at the middle; when you put the dhokla glass dish upside down, it will sit neatly on the plate.

Different idly(tava fried idly):

Idly 4
haldi 1 tsp
garam masala powder 1/2 tsp
chilli powder 1 tbsp
cumin powder 1 tsp
curry leaves, salt and oil

Mix all powders with enough of salt (since idly has its own salt)and little water to apply as a paste on both sides of the idlies.

Take one idly and apply the pastes on both sides. Chop into lengthy pieces. Meanwhile, heat tava and pour some oil all over the tava. Take the pieces and arrange on the heated tava; when it is crispy, turn over to the other side. Keep the fire in medium to get an even crispiness.

Make sure that the oil is greased all over the tava. When the idlies are done, garnish with cut curry leaves and ready to serve.

Hello RR,

Here the recipe is:

Paneer kofta:

Paneer 150 g
maida 2 sp
tomato puree 100 g
potato cooked 2
onion(fry in oil well till it is crispy and grind into paste) 2
ginger garlic paste 2 sp
garam masala powder 1/2 sp
cashew paste 2 sp(soak in water and grind)
whole cashew little
chili powder 1 1/2 sp
coriander leaves
saunf powder 1/2 sp
green chillies 3
haldi, salt and oil

Knead boiled potato, grated paneer very well. The more you knead, the better taste you will get.

With the above mixture, mix the whole cashews, masala powder, half of the cut green chillies, maida well and make small balls. Fry them in oil. Keep aside.

The purpose of adding maida is not to get break while frying.

Heat oil, add ginger garlic pastes, remaining cut chillies, saute well. Add chilli powder,haldi, saunf powder, tomato puree, cashew paste, salt, onion paste cook for some time. Once it is cooked(the color will change), add the koftas.

Dont let it boil for a long time after putting the koftas since it will get mashed with the gravy. So, allow it to boil only for 2 minutes after putting the koftas. Garnish with coriander leaves.

Ready to serve.
