    About This Recipe

    Farali Dhokla (Vrat Ka Dhokla) is just like your regular dhokla but prepared with different flours. This traditional Gujarati snack is popularly made for fasting days during navratri, janmashtami or mahashivratri.

    It is prepared with kuttu ka atta (buckwheat flour), singhade ka atta (water chestnut flour) and a few more simple ingredients. This instant dhokla needs no prior fermentation and comes together in under 30 minutes.

    It has a slight different taste and texture than the regular dhokla, but tastes delicious with a green chutney and masala chai on the side.

    Ingredients

    For the dhokla – To make the dhokla, you will need kuttu ka atta, singhade ka atta, curd, ginger, salt, vegetable oil, ENO fruit salt, fresh coconut and fresh coriander.

    Kuttu ka atta adnd singhade ka atta are popularly eaten during fasting/vrat days and easily available at your nearby grocery store. They are gluten free as well.

    ENO is added at the end, which helps the dhokla to rise and turn out soft and fluffy.

    Use fresh curd and make sure it’s not sour.

    If you like it to br spicy, you can also add in some crushed green chillies in the dhokla batter.

    For tempering – Tempering is optional, but highly recommended. To make the tadka, you just need 3 ingredients – oil, cumin seeds and green chillies.

    Use any vegetable oil to temper the farali dhokla.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve Farali Dhokla along with green chutney (coriander mint chutney) and a hot cup of masala chai or coffee.

    Storing Suggestions

    Farali Dhokla tastes the best when served fresh and hot. Leftovers can be stored in an air tight container for about 2-3 days in the refrigertor. Reheat in microwave for a few minutes until nice and warm before serving.
