Gram Flour (Besan)

The primary ingredient in dhokla batter is gram flour, also known as besan. It forms the base of the batter and gives dhokla its characteristic texture.

Semolina  (Sooji or Rava)

Semolina, also called sooji or rava, is often added to the batter to enhance the texture and fluffiness of dhokla.

Yogurt

Yogurt is a key ingredient in dhokla batter as it adds a tangy flavor and helps in fermenting the batter, resulting in soft and spongy dhoklas

Water

Water is used to make the batter by mixing it with gram flour, semolina, and yogurt to achieve the desired consistency

Eno or Fruit Salt

Eno or fruit salt acts as a leavening agent in dhokla batter, helping it rise and become light and airy during steaming

Salt

Salt is added to the batter to enhance the flavor of dhokla and balance the taste

Green Chillies

Green chilies are finely chopped or ground and added to the batter to provide a spicy kick to dhokla.

Ginger Paste

Ginger paste is often included in the batter to add a subtle warmth and flavor to dhokla.

Turmeric Powder

Turmeric powder is added not only for its color but also for its health benefits and mild flavor.

Tampering

After steaming, dhokla is typically garnished with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies sautéed in oil, which adds flavor and aroma to the dish.
