Ingredients:

• 1 cup besan (gram flour)

• 2 tablespoons semolina (optional, for texture)

• ½ cup plant-based curd (or 1 tablespoon lemon juice + water mix)

• ½ cup water (adjust for batter consistency)

• ½ teaspoon turmeric

• 1 teaspoon ginger-green chili paste

• Salt to taste

• 1½ teaspoons Eno (fruit salt) or baking soda + lemon juice mix

• 2 scoops Plantigo Vegan Protein Powder for Muscle Gain – Classic Unflavored or Savory (more than 24 grams protein per serving)

• 1 tablespoon oil (for tempering)

• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds

• 1 sprig curry leaves

• 2–3 green chilies, slit

• 1 tablespoon chopped coriander (for garnish)

Steps to Make Protein-Rich Dhokla Recipe:

1. Make the Batter

To begin this high-protein dhokla recipe, take a mixing bowl and combine besan, semolina, turmeric, salt, ginger-chili paste, and Plantigo Vegan Protein Powder for Muscle Gain. Gradually add water and whisk well to create a smooth, lump-free batter. Let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes.

2. Add the Leavening Agent

Right before steaming, stir in Eno or a mix of baking soda and lemon juice. Mix quickly and gently – the batter will turn light and airy, which is essential for fluffy dhokla.

3. Steam the Dhokla

Grease a dhokla tray or any flat-bottomed cake tin. Pour the batter into the tray and steam it in a steamer or covered pot with boiling water for 15–20 minutes on medium heat. Insert a toothpick to test – it should come out clean, confirming the dhokla recipe is cooked through.

4. Prepare the Tempering

In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies. Allow them to splutter. Pour this flavorful tempering over the hot, steamed dhokla for added taste and aroma.

5. Cut & Serve

Let the dhokla cool for a few minutes. Cut into neat squares and garnish with fresh coriander. Serve warm or at room temperature with green chutney. This dhokla recipe is not just light and fluffy—it’s also a great way to enjoy a plant protein boost as part of your breakfast or healthy snack!
