Tips & Tricks
Ensure the batter consistency is not too thick or too runny for the best results.
Add Eno just before steaming to ensure the dhokla rises properly.
You can garnish the dhokla with fresh coriander leaves or grated coconut for added flavor.
FAQS
Can I use leftover rice instead of soaked rice?
No, this recipe specifically requires soaked raw rice for the right texture and flavor.
Can I use baking powder instead of Eno?
Eno works best for this recipe as it helps the dhokla rise quickly. Baking powder may not give the same results.
How do I know the dhokla is cooked?
Insert a toothpick into the center of the dhokla. If it comes out clean, the dhokla is cooked.
Can I make this recipe without semolina?
Semolina helps give the dhokla a nice texture, but you can try substituting it with rice flour if needed.
Can I store the dhokla for later?
Yes, you can store the dhokla in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
