Instant
rava dhokla recipe / rava dhokla recipe/ instant suji (semolina) dhokla
DHOKLA
is a vegetarian snack delicacy from Gujarati cuisine. This dish is very simple
yet delicious and can be prepared at home without putting much effort.
DHOKLA RECIPES are very common and a popular snacks for many Indian households. It is
served for breakfast and for evening snack. This dish is very healthy because
it is a steamed recipe and less oil is used to cook.
DHOKLA
is very delicious, soft and spongy as well as a very simple and easy to make
recipe. Basically, dhokla recipes are prepared from fermented batter. However, this
recipe is an instant version of dhokla recipe with eno fruit salt, which helps
to hasten the fermentation process.
We
can make dhokla using besan or chickpeas, but here I have made it by using rava
or suji or semolina. Basically, dhokla is made in steamer, but in microwave
oven we can make it in very less time with more softness and sponginess. I have
