White live dhokla is one of the popular farsan (snacks) from the Gujarati cuisine. Typically dhokla recipe is prepared from fermented batter, but this recipe is an alternative and prepared from rice-dal powder and semolina. I also share the instant dhokla premix recipe, which can be prepared and stored in an air-tight container. This dhokla does not need fermentation like the regular dhokla. So with a little planning, breakfast or dinner can be made it quickly and served with your favorite chutney. Do try this!
The key to making instant white dhokla at home are
- In dhokla premix, use small grain rice varieties like khichdiya or jeerasar rice. Also, the quantity of dal should be half that rice.
- 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.
- 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.
