Dhokla

- Remove from the pan and cut into 3 cm squares.
Tadka
- Melt the ghee in a small frying pan on medium heat, induction setting 6. Add the mustard and cumin seeds and cook 10 seconds. Carefully add the curry leaves and cook until the leaves sizzle and the seeds pop. Stir through the asafoetida, sugar and salt, remove from the heat.
- Drizzle the tadka onto the Dholka before serving.
Hints and tips
- Asafoetida is often used an alternative for garlic or onion. It has a smooth flavour reminiscent of leeks and onions. It can be found at Indian grocers. Add garlic to the tadka if you cannot find asafoetida.
