Introduction

Dhokla is usually made with gram flour but this instant rava dhokla is made with suji or rava and is a more quick and healthier option. They can be steamed in plates and cut into square pieces if you want but I personally prefer to steam it in a bubble steamer just like idlis. They tastes best with sweet tamarind and jaggery chutney. You can also have them with tomato ketchup.
