Gujarati Dhokla Pizza Recipe

Gujarati Dhokla Pizza Recipe is a fusion recipe. Khatta Dhokla batter is made with dahi, rice and dals, which is then fermented, and finally steamed. In this recipe I have added carrots, mint leaves and green chillies to the batter after fermentation. The result is a healthy soft spongy dhokla which makes a delicious base for a pizza.  Rice, White Urad Dal (Whole), Chana dal (Bengal Gram Dal), Green Chillies, Ginger, Curd (Dahi / Yogurt), Salt, Carrot (Gajjar), Mint Leaves (Pudina), Onions, Green Bell Pepper (Capsicum), Britannia Cheezza, Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce, Sweet corn, Black olives   For the Khatta Dhokla 1 cup Rice 1 cup White Urad Dal (Whole) 1 cup Chana dal (Bengal Gram Dal) 3 Green Chillies , chopped 1 inch Ginger , chopped 1/2 cup Curd (Dahi / Yogurt) Salt 1 Carrot (Gajjar) , grated 1/4 cup Mint Leaves (Pudina) For the topping 3 Onions , thinly sliced 2 Green Bell Pepper (Capsicum) , thinly sliced 3 tablespoon Britannia Cheezza , grated 2 tablespoon Tomato Basil Pasta Sauce 2 tablespoons Sweet corn 2 Black olives , sliced     20   20     To begin making the Gujarati Dhokla Pizza Recipe we will first make the Khatta Dhokla.Soak rice, urad dal and chana dal all together for about 5 to 6 hours.After six hours, add the soaked rice and dal along with curd, 1 green chilli, ginger and salt to taste into a mixer grinder and grind to a smooth batter.
