Method

1. Prepare the Dhokla Batter:

Use your favorite ready dhokla mix and prepare the batter as per the instructions on the packet.

2. Make the Dhokla Katoris:

• Grease a larger bowl with vegetable oil.

• Place a smaller bowl inside it (upside down) and grease that too.

• Pour the batter around the small bowl, gently tap to settle.

• Pre-heat a steamer. Place the bowl setup inside and steam for 15 minutes on medium to high heat.

• Once done, let it cool completely.

• Carefully de-mould to get your edible dhokla bowls or “katoris.”
  
  

3. Assemble the Chaat:

• Add a spoon of mint chutney, followed by tamarind date chutney inside each katori.

• Add boiled potatoes, sprinkle salt and chaat masala.

• Top with sliced patra, pomegranate seeds, and a final layer of sev.

• Serve immediately and enjoy the burst of flavors!

Recipe Notes:

• Ensure the dhokla mix you use is certified gluten-free.

• You can prepare the katoris in advance and assemble just before serving for a crunchy texture.

• Try this for party snacks recipes or office party snacks – it's easy to transport and serve.

• Want to make it more kid-friendly? Skip the patra and reduce the chaat masala slightly.

• For those following strict gluten-free diets, double-check that sev and patra are made without wheat.
