on Mar 08, 2024 If you like this dhokla recipe, you may also like Poha Dhokla, Makki Ka Dhokla, Moong Dal Dhokla, or Farali Dhokla. I have a diary in which I note down recipes that I have come across somewhere and liked. The idea is to try them in my kitchen at some point. The list is ever-growing as I find so many inspirations on the internet, Instagram, TV, and cookbooks. I noted this rava dhokla recipe years ago when an afternoon recipe show featured it in one of their episodes. I am bummed that it took me three years to give this recipe a try. It’s such an easy recipe to make when someone comes home at short notice, and you still want to impress them with your culinary skills. Try it!
About Rava Dhokla
Rava Dhokla is an instant version of the popular Gujarati snack Khaman Dhokla. It is called instant, as there is no need to ferment the batter. Rava dhokla is also called khatta dhokla, as yogurt gives it a nice tang, and white dhokla because of its color. Serve it with green chutney and masala chai for breakfast. It is also a great snack to serve at tea parties or pack in a school, office, or lunch box. You can use buttermilk instead of yogurt.
