Tips on how to make Dhokla at home:

● You can microwave your Dhokla recipe. Just remember the Gujrathi breakfast can be eaten cold, hot, or at room temperature. ● Need variations of the Desi Dhokla? Replace one-half the besan quantity when adding Dhokla ingredients with Moong dal, peas, Rava, etc, and make variants to suit your style. ● How to make Dhokla and substitute ENO fruit salt? Use baking soda with yogurt or lime in the Khaman recipe. ● Always use a medium flame and fresh batter when cooking the Besan Dhokla recipe. The high flame can cause the Dhokla ki recipe to stay uncooked at the center. ● If your Dhokla turns red, it is the turmeric acting with the acid. You can use a little more turmeric to restore color.

Success!
