Makes 4 servings


Ingredients

4 large capsicums

To Be Mixed Together For The Khaman Dhokla Batter
1/2 cup besan (bengal gram flour)
1 tbsp semolina (rava)
1/4 tsp citric acid (nimbu ka phool)
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
1 tsp fruit salt
salt to taste

For The Tempering
1/2 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
1 tsp sesame seeds (til)
a pinch of asafoetida (hing)
4 to 6 curry leaves (kadi patta)
2 tsp oil

For The Garnish
2 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)

Method
  1. Cut the capsicums into 2 halves vertically. Remove the seeds carefully so as to retain the shape of the halves. Keep aside
  2. Mix together all the ingredients for the batter except the fruit salt using enough water to make a thick batter.
  3. Add in the fruit salt, sprinkle a little water over the fruit salt and mix well.
  4. Pour the khaman dhokla mixture into each capsicum half. Steam for 10 minutes.
  5. Allow the capsicums to cool. Cut each capsicum half into 2 pieces.
  6. Heat the oil in a pan, add the mustard seeds and when they crackle, add the sesame seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves.
  7. Add the capsicum pieces and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with the coriander and serve hot.

Handy tip:
  1. Always use your hands while mixing the batter to break lumps of the besan, sugar and citric acid crystals.

No doubt a healthy dish but didn't turn out to be as good as I expected it to be. Could've been better
