Dhokla (Suji - Semolina) Recipe by Manjula

[priyamvadha123]

Hi Aunty, what is the substitute for eno? I can't get it here.

[funckyNfreaky]

there are 2 kinds of semolina available in germany ... one is very fine and another is coarse.....

which one should be used....

Eno is available in India not here in germany what can be used inplace of eno....

I must say Manjula aunty U are a wonderful cook....... and very very sweet...

[SamarIbrahimDallash]

Yum yum...we use semolina in Egypt to make a sweet called basbousa :)

[nanjilnawab2011]

[TheClassicCoco]

Hi manjula!!! I must say, ur an amazing cook!! BUT i notice you incorporate yogurt in some of your dishes. IS the yougurt plain and unsweetened or is it slightly sweetened. please reply for I have been really doubtful of which yogurt to use in the chola tikki recipe which im eager to make for the family soon.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@TheClassicCoco I use unsweetend plain yogurt.

[mishatish]

hi manjula aunty .....why do we use  ENO?????

[krish5794]

@mishatish eno is basically to make it rise...

[bjgonce90295]

Suji is indian wheat



[Manjulaskitchen]

@bjgonce90295

Sooji is samolina

[JuBillwool]

[palurugururaja]

[Manjulaskitchen]

@palurugururaja

Idli maker will work great.

[asshish05]

the Yoghurt u have added is that Khhati or fresh dahi?? coz then u added lemon syrup too and I saw some more videos they didnt add any Lemon syrup...confused

and btw...can we use a microwave instead?? u have a recipe for that too ??

[irfaa1]

what is the purpose of ENO?? Iany alternative for it?

[gouthu24]

@irfaa1 I always use baking/cooking soda instead of ENO.

[Quicksilver5001]

i love Dhokla sorry i think my mom make's it better

[azntamz1406]

isnt dhokla sposed to b sweet or smething? i made it and it tasted bland :S

[juranandi]

@azntamz1406 it doesnt have a specific taste...the usual ones are bland,served with either spicy or sweet chutney

[av73651]

how to make dhokla fluffy?is ut required to use more yoghurt or water?

[ChewIron]

This looks great! I don't think that we get Eno's in my country. Can I use bicarbonate of soda insead?

[green0fairy0boy]

I made this and mine didn't come out fluffy. I wonder what i did wrong.The Yogurt i used was Greek style ( natural yogurt ) but very thick.

[minisehgal1]

[foodrecipies]

@zairt according to me : if u don't put INO (FRUIT SALT) it wont be spongy and soft... Manjula aunty correct me if i m wrong...

[Manjulaskitchen]

@foodrecipies

For dhokla we do need eno to make spongy and soft

[Moharani21]

@Manjulaskitchen

buttermilk works ok instead of INO

[msbandariya]

hi aunty..did u use suji flour or regular suji which we use 2 make halwa...

[Manjulaskitchen]

@msbandariya

Use regular suji which you use to make halwa...

[VegetarianDatabase]

[minufm]

do v have to take it in a plate and keep it in microwave or do v need to place over water.. how is it.? if not eno can i add soda bi carb..?

[minufm]

wow i love you and your recipes cheers

[nikkiidaniels]

i think the eno is for airation... maybe bi-carb soda might do same trick. but only use little bit .. otherwise the taste gonna be bi carb

[tikhonovvictor108]

Simple and clear! Thank You dear Manjula!  Victor. Russia

[abhiramimuthu]

Can i use citric acid instead of Eno?

[zapakash2009]

i dnt have ENO so can you please let me know what can i use in place of thing coz i want to prepare today....

[prisharohit]

[rakho1]

Excellent recipe Manjula Auntie - I just made it and it came out great! Thank you!

[saifymasoun]

i m very thanks full to you for tell how made dhokla

[saifymasoun]

[TheSuperber]

thank u very much. gonna try it today.

[cgdakshata]

euk....its not fluffy..it is going to taste like dahi upma..euk...

Dhokla is supposed to be spongy...like a cake..but it dint come out!

[zidouni190]

great job thank you :D

[MrspetloverUS]

Manjula ji your recipes are the best...Do u have Chana or Mung daal khaman dhokla recipe? I don't like using besan and love dhokla made with daal...Thanks..

[tinkerbell2090]

this recipe is great but i was wondering if the metal rack is necessary in the pot? right now i make it in the microwave but i'd like to make it on the stove so i was wondering if i need to have the metal rack in the middle. thank you!

[ktkbar]

well basically you need to steam it. If you don't put the rack the dhokla container will come in direct contact with the hot water.

[sreevidya77]

Hi madam,

Can the adding of Eno is a must please let me know

vidyamali

[Buonarotti10]

Eno reacts with lemon juice and makes dhokla fluffy and spongy.

[BFUAH]

Wow! i tried this recipe and the dhokla taste so good!

thanks for the recipe! :-)

[summertimeposse]

This recipe is quite amazing... I want to try it out, but I was wondering if it is advisable to put Heeng in the tadka? I can't quite remember, but I think my mom used to make it that way.

[Manjulaskitchen]

Your choice but I will not advice.

[BFUAH]

OMG! i tryed it and it taste sooo good thanks for the recipe!!

[Abhay6001]

can i use any other thing than yogart??

[nsync1979]

i tried this nd it came out really well !!...thank u for this recipe

[BFUAH]

Wow tht video helped me alot

[avanipujara]

Wht if i dont add Eno here?

[aryaksh0406]

Can u please post a recipe for dhokla thats made with besan !!! Actually i buy gits dhokla mix and steam it, but its very difficult since i dont have the original dhokla cooker to cook it. One of my friend told that i can even bake it in the oven, can u please tell me if we can do that, thanks a lot.

[desigirlmaine]

can i use baking powder/soda instead of eno??? .... what is eno anywayz??

[amiastonishing]

o my god this is too good tx a lot!!!!

[Taslimbanu]

I really liked this simple recipe...well mam can I just put the vessel without the rack in the water of the pan...pls reply

[hermioneChi]

yay......the dhoklas came out really fluffy and tasty..you're an angel

[hermioneChi]

nice...I am gonna cook it tonight

[9844067216]

Namastey AuntyJi,

Thanks for your video i tried it came out really well.

[Rahul3897]

mam can i use fine soji

[smartaaas]

I am so thankfull to you for sharing the delicious recipes. I can't thank you enough.

Can I through some garlic into dhokla? I will highly appreciate your suggestion.

I would also like to thank you to the camera person, great job.

[AJ9211]

I think I read somewhere that Manjula aunty is Jain, who do not use onions or garlic. But as standard Hindu (and more importantly a Gujarati, Gujarat being the home of the dhokla!) I know that garlic tastes great in dhoklas.

my dad likes to have pieces/chunks of garlic in dhoklas and because they are steam cooked you won't get that over powering taste, it was quite surprising when I first had it. you basically just add it to the batter. BTW original dhoklas r made of besan which taste fab.

[soumyanuj]

manjula aunty ur recipe is amazing. I made it a few days back and the results were mouth watering

[usmd0002]

Can I use anything else instead of Eno?

[SYLFan2008]

Sodium bi-carbonate is the main ingredient in ENO. That's what baking soda is too. So use baking soda instead of ENO.

[SYLFan2008]

Baking soda. The main ingredient in Eno is Sodium bi-carb, which is also baking soda.

[jhebruk]

Thanks I am making it today..Loved your seasoning vessel very much.

[roseattri]

o my god, mam you are great. I didnt eat dhokla for 2 years (coz i dont know how to make it) but now after watching your video, i am so so so so happy. thank u mam again..

[reenachitra]

can u do the same in microwave, if so how much time

[Manjulaskitchen]

microwave should be about 7 minutes

[krono7]

Very nice, and purely vegetarian too!

Me and my family usually get this from a lovely shop here, though we'll have to have a go at trying to make this at home some time :)

Thanks for the easy to follow guide.

[ritaturner]

Can I use anything else instead of Eno?

[knaovaum]

thanks a lot. I made it and it came out wonderful.

[bhairvibhandari]

whats is the alternate of yogurt?

i use curd instead of yogurt &became a great recipe.

[andy04134]

Hi there Manjula, i enjoyed your video on semolina (dhokla). I often have semolina for breakfast, but, I only make a very simple method, semolina, milk, water, and sugar, and make it much the same way as porridge.

One day I may try your recipe.

Best wishes and Regards from Australia.

Andy. :-)

[beautyfulasyou]

woww yummy but i don't have the cake bowl n stuff is there any other alternative to make dhokla other than using that?

[123kkambiz]

just you need any vesel , flat is better becasue the thickness will be same. even glass type vessel which will not break in hot water will do

[roopesha]

thanks auntyji,

I'll try it.

[babushkasbasket]

you use coarse semolina, or you can use besan (gram flour) with one tablespoon of semolina, which works v.nice

hello mrs majula

[robin123robin]

God Bless you manju aunty, you are great, and and keep up the delicious work.

[12of6]

that is way better than i thought it would be

[nehjain1]

Hello Aunty,

You make me miss my mom everytime I watch your videos especially when you wear saree.

Please let me know if you used moti suji or barik suji for this.

Also is it alright to use baking soda+ lemon juice in place of ENO. As it is 60% soda bicarb and 40% citric Acid. Or if you could suggest another alternative for citric acid instead of lemon juice that would work better for this.

Thanks for posting these.

[batasi20]

oh thanks anty

[nrpanchal]

thanks a lot for this video, it's a great help to people like me who are staying away from home.

[ilyasalikhan]

What is this eno? If I cant get that, please tell me another substitue for that.

[belliphul]

bicarbonate of soda

[sunami13]

Kya mast receipe batayie hai aunty, long live , teach us more

[ratika30aug]

thanks Aunty,

i would sure ly try it today...

[niljal]

Tahnkx Aunty!!!! Really good..yummy.

[kmh10956]

Hi Aunty, please explain what is colentro (the green leaves) Thanks.

[Manjulaskitchen]

cilantro is hara dhania or green coriander

[aishaansari76]

Hello Manjula Aunty... It turned out fabulous. Thank you soooooo much

[parpyy]

lol...she did the measuring wrong...the sooji is dry, hence the dry measure

, and the yougurt wet, she should be using the liquid measure....

[babiiegurl09]

what is the ENO for?

what if you don't put it in, what happens?

[beckyraj]

It's a rising agent. It's like when you put baking powder in a cake. You can usually use bicarbonate of soda instead, but you might want to use less than 1 teaspoon. Maybe half a teaspoon will do. It won't be nice at all if you don't use some sort of rising agent.

[shauryasongara]

Hi manjula aunty,

Namastae, aunty I have tried the dhokla but it comes very hard. I follow through your recepie and cook in microwave for 7 min but it becomes very hard. Could you pls tell me what I did wrong. Thanxs for showing all your recepie.

[chica101107]

[lovelifeforeva26]

Hi Manjula auntie......thanks for the recipe! i tried cooking and my dhokla turned out awesome :)

[nbotelho10]

Auntyji, can I make this a day in advance and keep overnight in the refrigerator ?

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes you can and warm up in microwave for few minutes before serving but that is optional

[avbhj156]

hi manjula aunty i tried dhokla in the microwave. i used eno fruit salt. and it came out very nice. thanks for the receipe.

[avbhj156]

Hi friends i found Eno fruit salt in an indian shop. u all can try it.

[avbhj156]

Hi manjula aunty i tried the dhokla.i added soda but it changed the color. and i made in the microwave but it was not very nice. one side was soft and the otherside was hard like rubber.can u tell me why did it come like this.

[avbhj156]

Hi manjula aunty when are u going to show us how to make panipuri and pani at home. please it is and humble request. And i think many of them want to know it. thanks

[avbhj156]

If i make dhokla in microwave how many minutes will it take to cook in the microwave

[Manjulaskitchen]

about 7 minutes

[avbhj156]

Hi manjula aunty can i make the semolina dhokla in the pressure cooker will it be safe and perfect. how much minutes it will take to cook in the pressure cooker

[Manjulaskitchen]

[avbhj156]

Hi manjula aunty it is safe and okay to make semolina dhokla in the pressure cooker and how many minutes will it take

[DadiJaan14]

Aunty, I just made it.

it turned out superb, and I also found out that cilantro was actually just coriander!

Thanks a million! - Dadi Jaan

[DadiJaan14]

Aunty,

Is there a substitute for Eno? Or can we make it without it? because I couldnt find it in the shops anywhere!

Thank u! - Dadi Jaan

[gems197882]

Manjula aunty another lovely recipe by u.... just wanted to ask u... what if i dont have eno salt?? can u use soda bi carbonate alone?.... please guide.... and is eno salt the same eno we use for gastic problems??

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can use soda 1 teaspoon but soda changes the color

[DadiJaan14]

Aunty,

Yeh I read this. No need to answer. Thank u!

To overcome the colour change can one add more haaldi? and what is the urdu/hindi word for cilentro? - Dadi Jaan

[4aumisthesound]

Im so happy to find you,,

[puunzhyy]

thanks very much for your recipes,here in south america,in chile,we apreciate a lot.

Please don`t stop.

Ekasraya

[rsridaran]

Is it safe to use baking powder or Eno in food?

[Manjulaskitchen]

yes I suppose Eno and baking powder has been used for years and I have been using for more then 40 years.

[nasrinasif]

namaste manjula aunty,today i make this dhokla and its come out very teasty .but can i use less yogurt ? if yes, how much? can i make this dhokla in microwave? if yes how many min.? thank you.

[Manjulaskitchen]
