    For the third day it had to be a quick one as I was least prepared for unexpected events that can happen. The first two versions were prepared last week and I couldn't prepare the third one as everybody felt one Dhokla for a day was more than enough, however much we liked it. With the week becoming very hectic, I thought I would have time to make it just before the day and I was wrong.I missed my regular posting time and made it late last night and that too in Microwave for a quicker version. The Dhokla tasted great so I would be making it again in the regular method as well. Since it was going to be a quick version, I steamed it in small bowls to be individual servings. You can follow the regular method of steaming it on a bigger plate and slicing it down.

    The fresh sweet corn nibbles add to the taste and this surely is a great snack for the kids.

    Microwave Makai ka Dhokla

    Ingredients Needed

    Maize flour / Makai ka Atta - 1 cup
    Buttermilk - 1 cup
    Sweet corn kernels - 1/4 cup
    Ginger, green chili paste - 2 tsp
    Sugar
    Lemon juice few drops
    Eno's fruit salt / Baking Soda - 1 tsp
    Oil - 1 tsp
    Salt to taste

    For the garnish

    Coriander, chopped - 2 tbsp

    For the tempering

    Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
    Sesame seeds - 1 tsp
    Hing a pinch
    Oil - 1 tsp

    How to make Makai Ka Dhokla

    Boil the Sweet corn kernels with water in MW for 5 mins. Drain and keep it aside.

    Take the flour, sweet corn, green chilies ginger paste, salt, and mix with buttermilk. Just before steaming, add in either baking soda or ENO. Transfer to a greased microwave bowl and MW for 1 and a half min in intervals of 30 secs.

    Allow to rest for a couple of minutes, then temper with the tempering ingredients and garnish with coconut and chopped coriander

    This healthy dhokla is not only a great option for Diabetics, it can be served for your kid's snack. Of course, my boys won't try, however, Konda loves such snacks.

      Microwave version sounds very easy and quick when compared to the steamed one, loving that beautiful deep yellowish colour of the dhoklas.

      Have to try these soon. The MW idea makes it more appealing. Valli, is makai flour same as the corn flour?

      Suma, Makai flour is corn meal or corn flour which is yellow in colour. And not the Corn flour (known as corn starch in US) that is white and use as a thickening agent.
