Directions for Chiba Dhokli Recipe (Gujarati Snack With Besan)
To begin making Chiba Dhokli Recipe, sieve gram flour/besan first.
In a saucepan, heat sufficient water till boiling.
In a bowl, mix together gram flour, green chillies, kasuri methi, hing, haldi, alt, powdered sugar/caster sugar, lemon juice and a bit of water to make a no-dropping batter of a thick consistency.
Take a plate which has almost the same diameter as the saucepan with boiling water.
Spread this batter into the plate with your hand and flatten using a brush.
Place this plate upside down on the boiling saucepan, so that the chiba dhokli do not come in direct contact with water.
After about 3-4 minutes in this set up, the dhokli will be done and steam-cooked.
After it cools a bit, brush some cooking oil on the plate.
Cut the steamed dhokli into even strips with a knife or back of a spoon and put on serving plate.
Heat a bit of oil in a tadka pan for tempering.
Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter.
Soon after they splutter, add the sesame seeds and saute a bit and switch off.
Pour this tempering on the chiba dhokli. Sprinkle methi pickle masala on the recipe and serve immediately.
