Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup semolina rava or suji
  • 1 cup yogurt curd
  • ¼ cup water or as needed
  • ½ teaspoon ginger paste
  • ½ teaspoon green chili paste adjust to taste
  • ¼ cup chana dal optional
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon fruit salt Eno
  • 1 tablespoon oil

For the tempering (tadka):

  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
  • ½ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 2 teaspoon sesame seeds optional
  • A pinch of asafoetida hing
  • 8-10 curry leaves
  • 2-3 green chilies slit
  • 2 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
  • 2 tablespoon grated coconut optional

Instructions
 

  • Dry roast the oats in a pan on low heat for a few minutes. Allow them to cool and then grind them into a fine powder.
  • Optional: Rinse and drain chana dal. Add hot water, cover, and soak the dal for 20 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the ground oats, semolina, yogurt, water, ginger paste, green chili paste, salt, and 1 tablespoon of oil. Mix well to form a smooth batter. The consistency of the batter is similar to pancake batter, thick but flowing consistency. Let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the steamer by boiling water in it.
  • Grease a dhokla plate or a shallow dish with oil.
  • (if using) Drain the chana dal and add it to the batter.
  • Just before steaming, add fruit salt (eno) to the batter and mix well. The batter will become frothy.
  • Immediately pour the batter into the greased plate and place it in the steamer. Steam the dhokla for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the dhokla comes out clean.
  • While the dhokla is steaming, prepare the tempering. Heat oil in a small pan, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, sesame seeds (optional), asafoetida, and let them splutter. Then add curry leaves and green chilies. Sauté for a minute and turn off the heat.
  • Once the dhokla is steamed, remove it from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes. Then, cut it into squares or diamond shapes.
  • Pour the prepared tempering over the dhokla pieces. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut (if using).
  • Serve the Oats Rava Dhokla with green chutney or ketchup.
