Once it comes to boil, add the uncooked dhokla in the boiling water.Don’t close the lid of the cooker. Just cover it and let it cooker for 40 to 45 minutes on low flame. Once it reaches the right consistency and the dhoklas are cooked switch off the gas. To know if the dhoklas are cooker, insert a fort in the dhokla and if it comes out clean, it means your dhokla is cooked.Once it is cooked, garnish it with coriander leaves and pour some hot ghee on it to serve.Serve Rajasthani Chawle Wale Dhokle on its own with Kachumber Salad for a wweknight dinner.
