Palak Besan Ka Dhokla (Steamed Spinach Gramflour Savory Cake) – Winter Breakfast Special

Mix all other ingredients mentioned under dhokla except Eno. Keep it aside for 10 minutes.
Keep 2 cups of water in a deep kadhai and put a stand in it. Cover it and let it boil for 5 minutes. Now add Eno in a dhokla batter and pour 1 tsp of lemon juice over it. Mix it well.
Pour prepared batter into the greased pan and place it on the stand inside the kadai.
Cover the kadai and steam the dhokla on high flame for 15 – 20 minutes.

To check the doneness, insert a toothpick. If the mixture does not stick, it means the dhokla is done (If the toothpick has the batter on it, then steam dhokla for another 5 minutes).
Switch off the flame and allow dhokla to cool completely.
Insert a knife around the edges to loosen up dhokla. Flip it over onto a plate and cut into slices.
