Instant live dhokla | instant moongdal dhokla | instant dhokla premix recipe

Live dhokla is an all-time favorite farsan (snacks) from gujarati cuisine. Typically dhokla recipe is prepared from fermented batter, but this recipe is an alternative and prepared from moong dal-rice powder and semolina. I share instant dhokla premix recipes, which can be prepared and stored in an air-tight container. This dhokla does not need fermentation like the regular dhokla so it can be prepared without any extra pre-preparation. It tastes great with garlic chutney. Do try this! 

The key to making instant moongdal live dhokla at home are:
  • In dhokla premix, use small grain rice varieties like khichdiya or jeerasar rice. Also, the quantity of rice should be half that dal.
  • Use semolina or coarse rava for instant dhokla mix and the proportion of semolina should be equal to dal and rice powder.
  • Store dhokla premix or flour in an air-tight container for 6 months or more in the refrigerator.
  • Use sour buttermilk or curd to make dhokla batter, if you do not have it then add some lemon juice into dhokla batter.
  • Dhokla batter should be slightly thick and pouring consistency.
  • Steam dhokla 12-15 min on high-medium flame. Do not oversteam dhokla otherwise, it will become hard.
