   can you cook the dhokla in the microwave instead of steaming.? Will it be as soft and fluffy as when it is steamed?

   yep, eno is fruit salt that you would use to indigestion or acidity. It is also an agent to fluff and ferment your batter.

    This is amazing recipe. I don’t know still.
    I love dhokla. Now, I have one more option for dhokla. Thank you very much. You both are too good and your recipes are also great.

    ENO is about 60% baking soda (soda bi-carb) and 40% citric acid. You can find citric acid in Indian grocery stores. Or, you can try 1 1/4 tsp baking soda and some lime/lemon juice.

    That’s a very good idea, we will try it next time. Thanks for the tip:)

    Ok! first of all you don’t garnish your dhokala with celantro before you add vaghar. Also, it would be better if you cut dhokla before you add vaghar onit, so that it sips in to the gaps, and that makes it more flavorfull from all the sides.
    good job by the way.

    you can also use a bone china ’soup’ plate, and place the plate in a normal fry pan… this is at least how i do, as in europe you can’t find specialize steamer for indian foods..

    My daughter and her friends tried it in microwave and they say it turned out really good.

    Unfortunately no, they have to be steamed. There are microwave idly cookers available, but we have never used it to make this dhokla.

    If you are using a pressure cooker, be sure you have something at the bottom of the cooker to rest the steel box on to hold it up out of the water. You don’t have to cover the box. Also, be sure to leave the whistle or weight off so that the steam can come out of the cooker. Good luck and let us know how the dhokla come out!
