INSTANT RAWA BESAN DHOKLA

I am the person who likes to experiment and try out new dishes for my family. Few days back I made this yummy, Rawa-Besan Dhokla which is instant one and it comes out so fluffy, soft and spongy. A delicious and easy breakfast recipe to make at home. This amazing and mouth- watering Rawa- Besan Dhokla takes very few minutes for the preparations and just 20 minutes for cooking. The aroma of this dhokla is so tempting that makes you want to eat it. This is easy and quick and especially when there is no time and you are craving for something interesting which do not need to prepare the batter in advance and ferment it for 8-10 hours. The secret of its sponginess without fermentation lies in using popular Eno Salt. Follow the step-by-step picture recipe, notes and try it out and enjoy.

NOTES: Use a new packet of Eno always for the best soft, spongy and fluffy dhokla. Using already opened pack, dhoklas does not becomes spongy.

You can substitute it with baking soda. Same quantity works well.

After adding Eno, whisk it only once or twice. Do not over mix the batter.
