INSTANT DHOKLA

Quick recipes always come in handy when we are short of time with day-to-day chores. Rather than using ready to eat or instant foods, it’s better to cook quick recipes with available ingredients at home. It is not only good for health, pocket friendly too! I prefer short and sweet recipes always. Though dhokla is a Gujarathi dish made by fermenting gram flour, there are many variations to this dish. It is one such dhokla recipe and a tasty version to the regular one. Its fluffy light taste will amaze you. This low calorie, healthy dish is ideal for evening snacks.
