Almond Flour Dhokla in Instant Pot
A light and fluffy steamed cake made with almond flour, perfect for breakfast or snacks, now prepared conveniently in an Instant Pot.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour (GI: 10)
- 1/4 cup yogurt (GI: 6)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder (GI: 0)
- 1 teaspoon ginger-green chili paste (optional, GI: 0)
- Salt, to taste (GI: 0)
- Water, as needed (GI: 0)
Tempering:
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds (GI: 0)
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, GI: 0)
- 1 tablespoon oil (for tempering) (GI: 0)
- Curry leaves (optional)
Cooking Instructions
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, yogurt, baking powder, ginger-green chili paste (if using), and salt.
- Gradually add water to form a smooth batter. The batter should be thick but pourable; adjust the water accordingly.
Prepare the Instant Pot:
- Add 1-2 cups of water to the inner pot of the Instant Pot and place the trivet inside. This will create steam for cooking the dhokla.
- Grease a round cake pan or a heatproof dish that fits inside the Instant Pot.
Pour the Batter:
- Pour the dhokla batter into the greased pan and spread it evenly.
Steam the Dhokla:
- Carefully place the pan on the trivet inside the Instant Pot. Close the lid and set it to “Steam” mode for 15-20 minutes on high pressure.
- After the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for about 5 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.
Prepare the Tempering:
- While the dhokla is cooling, heat oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. If using, add sesame seeds and curry leaves and sauté for a few seconds.
Finishing Touches:
- Once the dhokla has cooled slightly, remove it from the pan. Pour the tempering evenly over the dhokla.
- Cut into squares or desired shapes.
Serve:
- Serve warm or at room temperature with green chutney or yogurt.
