Directions For Making Locho

  1. Wash the dal 3-4 times and then soak it in water for 2-3 hours. Drain the water and add the dal to a blender. Blend to form a coarse mixture. 
  2. Now add ¾ cup water, 1 tbsp besan, 2 tbsp curd and salt as per taste. Blend again to form a batter. Take out this batter in a bowl, cover it with a lid and let it ferment for 3 hours.
  3. Now add finely chopped green chilli, grated ginger, turmeric, asafoetida, baking soda and peanut oil to the batter. Whisk well for 2 minutes.
  4. Pour the batter into a greased tin and steam it for 10-12 minutes. Once steamed, take out the Locho on a plate by scraping it off from the tin.
  5. Garnish the Locho with red chilli powder, cumin powder, sev and serve along with some chopped onion and mint chutney on the side.
