Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Create the Batter
Mix besan, semolina, sugar, salt, turmeric, lemon juice, and curd. Add water slowly and whisk till smooth. Rest for 10 minutes.
Optional flavour boost: Mix in Jain Bliss Chili Flakes before adding ENO.
Step 2: Steam the Dhokla
Grease your plate/tray. Add ENO, mix gently, pour, and steam for 12–15 minutes. Let it cool slightly.
Step 3: Prepare the Tadka
Heat oil, add mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, and chilies. Add water, sugar, and lemon juice. Simmer for 1 minute.
Step 4: Finish & Garnish
Pour warm tadka over the steamed dhokla. Let it soak for 5 minutes. Cut into squares.
Final flavour magic: Sprinkle Jain Bliss Peri Peri Masala or Jain Bliss Chili Flakes on top for a delicious, modern twist.
Variations Using Jain Bliss Flavours
1. Peri Peri Dhokla
After steaming, lightly sprinkle Jain Bliss Peri Peri Masala for a fiery, fusion-style dhokla.
2. Chili-Flakes Infused Dhokla
Add Jain Bliss Chili Flakes inside the batter + on top after tadka for a double-layer flavour.
3. Cheesy Peri Peri Dhokla
Top warm dhokla with melted cheese + Peri Peri Masala — great for kids’ snacks.
Final Thoughts
Jain Dhokla is already soft, spongy, and sattvik — but with a dash of Jain Bliss Peri Peri or Chili Flakes, it becomes a modern, flavour-packed delight your guests will always remember.
