Notes

Notes lots of people like using fruit salt/Eno now a days ....Adding eno and citric acid makes the dhokla soft and fluffy. If you dnt have eno in your home, use baking soda. Instead of citric acid, add lemon juice. The batter should be of pouring consistency.cake like batter You can use cooker or large cooking vessel to make dhokla Or a Idli maker. To check if its cooked, insert the tooth prick and check. If it comes out clean, your dhokla is ready. Follow the same recipe for microwave dhokla. After adding baking soda dont let the batter to sit for long time. Steam it quickly. You can also make dhokla idly by steaming the same batter in idly plate.
