Dhuska
Dhuska is a popular dish in the Indian state of Jharkhand. It is a deep-fried, savory rice pancake often served as a snack or breakfast item. Here’s a simple recipe for making Dhuska:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup rice (preferably parboiled rice)
- 1/4 cup chana dal (split Bengal gram)
- 1/4 cup urad dal (split black gram)
- 1-inch ginger, finely grated
- 2-3 green chilies, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
- A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
- Salt to taste
- Water, as needed
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions:
Soaking
Rinse the rice, chana dal, and urad dal together and soak them. Soak them for four to six hours, or overnight, in water.
Grinding
Drain the soaked rice and dal and grind them together into a smooth batter. Add water as needed to achieve a thick, pancake batter consistency.
Seasoning
Add grated ginger, chopped green chilies, cumin seeds, asafoetida, and salt to the batter. In order to equally blend the components, mix thoroughly.
Fermentation
Allow the batter to ferment for about 4-6 hours or overnight. Fermentation helps in making the dhuska more flavorful and gives it a slight tanginess.
Deep Frying
Heat oil in a deep pan for frying. Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, making small pancakes. Fry until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
Draining Excess Oil
Remove the fried dhuska using a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve
Dhuska is typically served with chutney, yogurt, or any sauce of your choice. You can also enjoy it with a cup of tea.
Remember, you can adjust the spice levels and other ingredients according to your taste preferences. Enjoy your homemade dhuska!
