---

FOR THE DHOKLA:

2 Cups Maize Flour

1 Cup Peas crushed

2 Green Chillies  finely chopped

1/2 Inch Piece of Ginger, grated

1/2 Cup Coriander leaves

1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds

1 Teaspoon Black Mustard Seeds

1 Teaspoon Red Chilli Powder

1 Teaspoon Fennel Seeds (Saunf)

1 Teaspoon Turmeric Powder

1 Teaspoon Coriander Powder

1.5 Teaspoons Salt, or according to taste

1/2 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1.5 Cups Water

3 Tablespoon Oil

For the Tempering

1 Teaspoon Black Mustard Seeds

2 Green Chillies

1 Teaspoon Cumin Seeds

10-12 Curry Leaves

---

PROCESS:

1. Take Maize Flour (Makai Ka Atta) in a bowl and mix Salt, Red Chilli Powder, Cumin Seeds (Jeera), Fennel Seeds (Saunf), Turmeric powder (Haldi) and Coriander Powder in it.
2. Now add crushed peas, finely chopped green chilies, baking soda and coriander leaves to the flour mixture.
3. Now make a soft dough by adding water gradually to it and kneading. It should be of the same consistency as the dough for roti.
4. Divide the dough into small portions and press them lightly by hand to make them round.
5. Next boil water in a deep pan. Gently drop the Dhoklas into the water and boil them for 4-5 minutes on high flame. The dhoklas on getting cooked will float to the top. Transfer these Dhoklas to a plate and allow them to cool.
6. Heat 2 Tablespoons of oil in a pan. Put Black Mustard Seeds in it till they begin to crackle. Now add Cumin Seeds, Green Chillies and Curry Leaves. Put dhokla in the oil and saute it on a low flame, turning it 3-4 times to ensure even cooking.
7. An alternate way of making Makki ka Dhokla is by steaming. Heat water in a steamer and keep the dhoklas in the tray after keeping some gap in between. Put on the lid of the steamer and steam for 15 minutes.
