HOW TO PREPARE DHOKLA IN PRESSURE COOKER

1. Pour about 2 to 2.5 cups of water into a pressure cooker and put it on medium flame for 4-5 minutes.
2. Place something in the water which can work as a stand on which you can place your bowl in which batter is added. We have also heard that some people add small stones (of the same volume) on which they can place their bowl, but we have never tried this method personally. The very purpose of placing a stand in water is that the water, while boiling, shouldn’t enter into the bowl in which batter is there.
3. Close the lid of pressure cooker and remove the whistle. Cook it over medium flame for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes open the lid and check whether Dhokla is ready or not. For this, just insert a toothpick or a knife in the batter and if the toothpick/knife comes out clean, your Dhokla is ready. Otherwise let it cook for a further period of 5 to 7 minutes.
