Hi Everyone,

        Dhokla, my all time favorite snack. Dhokla can be a healthy alternative to Gluten since besan does not contain gluten, it is a great substitute for wheat and other gluten-containing grains, for those people who are allergic to gluten(just skin adding semolina, and you will get your gluten free dhokala). I like everything about this recipe, it's instant and easy to make and has a wonderful flavor and which makes dhokla a delicious snack. This steamed cake prepared with chickpea flour and tempered with Indian spices. It is tangy, spicy and fluffy. A mouth-watering, nutritious snack that’s healthy and vegan too! 
        This delicious dhokla can be served with coriander or tamarind chutney, fried green chilies. This savory, steamed vegetarian snack is primarily from the state of Gujarat and also known as khaman dhokla. It is a common street food throughout India. It is healthy, low calorie and tasty, it is light on the stomach yet filling. You can serve this power-packed dhokla for breakfast, snack or dinner. So let's start.

      Thank you. Dhokla is my favorite and it's quick and easy to prepare. Idli mould is definitely a good option and that will look nice too.

  2. How is this gluten free? Semolina is actually just a type of flour made from durum wheat.

  3. Rava is semolina, this is besan which is chick pea flour

  4. Your ingredients list says 11g ginger? How much is that in spoons as people don't have scales at home. Your instructions say ginger-garlic but your ingredients list doesn't have garlic. Your photo of ingredients doesn't have either ginger or garlic.
