And since we are from Delhi, we are a fan too. As a matter of fact, there are many more different versions like Sandwich Dhokla (Sooji version) or an Idli Dhokla. The differentiation between various kinds of Dhokla is made first with the presentation style and then with the primary ingredient used. Some people like to use Sooji (Semolina) and others the Besan (Gram flour). Coming to the device that can be used to steam (mind it, its not bake) the Dhokla, there are many options available ranging from our Indian kitchen’s favorite pressure cooker or the standard Microwave . Dhokla in Idli steamer gives it the Idli shape and the name too. The process in Idli steamer remains same as we have mentioned in the pressure cooker recipe. Conventional Oven is primarily used for baking and NOT steaming. Hence, it is not a good idea to make Dhokla in Oven. We have tried the Oven and the results were not positive. The Dhokla turned out to be a kind of hard rubber in texture. Dhokla without Microwave? Use the Cooker.

We are in the process of trying this recipe without ENO (Indian brand for fruit salt) or you can say fruit salt. We feel that the Dhokla paste would need to be kept aside for couple of hours to ferment before steaming. Technically speaking, ENO is nothing but a combination of Baking Soda (Sodium bicarbonate) and Citric Acid in near 50:50 ratio. Hence, if you want to substitute ENO, you can pretty well use these two to follow the above recipe. As a substitute for Citric acid, you can use Lemon juice. So, if you want to try the above recipe without ENO, you would need 1/2 Tsp of Baking Soda and 1/2 Tsp or Citric Acid OR Lemon juice. We are in the process of trying this hack and would share once it is successful. This will prove to be a great snack if you have guests coming in at short notice.
