Notes

For Farali Premix
  • Roast sama rice and sabudana to increase the shelf life of the premix.
  • Farali premix should have a slightly coarse texture.
  • Store the farali premix in an air-tight container.
For Farali Dhokla
  • The consistency of the dhokla batter should be medium-thick and pourable. Do not make the batter thin.
  • Steam the dhokla on a high flame for 12–15 minutes.
  • The addition of tempering enhances the taste of the dhokla and keeps it soft even after it cools down.
For Farali Handvo
  • The consistency of the handvo batter should be medium-thick.
  • Cook the handvo on a medium-low flame until it becomes crispy.
