Procedure to Make Rava Dhokla

Take a thick bottomed deep dish and fill it with water up to 1/4th of its capacity.

Let the water come to a complete boil, as the water reaches a boil, place a medium size metallic sieve that perfectly fits the base of deep dish pot.

To make the Rava Dhokla

Take a bowl and put in Rawa, Besan, Curd, Sugar, Citric acid, 1 1/2 tsp oil, and Salt. Whisk and beat the mix until you get a smooth batter.

Take some hot water in a bowl and add baking soda to it and mix well.

Pour this mix of Baking Soda and water to the whisked batter made earlier. Mix well until bubbles begin to appear.

Pour this mixture in an oil greased baking dish. Remember to fill the dish to only half of its capacity as the dhokla will rise while steaming and will need space to do so.
