Introduction
A soft, fluffy, and vibrant tri-color instant dhokla prepared with semolina (suji) batter, layered with natural spinach and carrot purees, and steamed to perfection. This festive recipe is served with a fresh green coriander-mint chutney and a classic mustard seed tempering.
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina, curd, ginger-green chilli paste, hing, salt, and water. Whisk well to form a smooth, lump-free batter.
Step 2
Cover and let the batter rest for 15 minutes to allow the semolina to absorb the liquids.
Step 3
Pour water into the Ninja pan, place it inside the Ninja Combi appliance, switch to Combi Cooker mode, select the 'Steam' function, and preheat.
Step 4
Divide the rested batter into three equal portions. For the orange layer, mix carrot puree and a dash of orange food color into the first portion.
Step 5
For the green layer, mix spinach puree and a dash of green food color into the second portion. Leave the third portion plain white.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Always add the fruit salt (Eno) to each portion of batter immediately before pouring it into the mold to ensure maximum rise and fluffiness.
Do not over-steam the first two layers; they only need to be firm enough to support the next layer without mixing.
Using chilled water in the chutney prevents the herbs from heating up during blending, keeping the green color vibrant.
