An all-purpose Indian snack that's appropriate for breakfast or birthdays, dhokla is a steamed cake from the Gujarat region. It reveals savory, sweet and spicy flavors, with a soft and spongy texture.
Dhokla is usually served with deep fried chillies and coriander chutney and garnished with fresh coriander and/or grated coconut.
Dhokla is made by soaking rice & lentils like chana dal. Then they are ground to a batter and fermented overnight to develop a flavour. It is then steamed in a tray or pan. The fermentation process helps the batter to rise while steaming.
“The fermented nature of the food may release lactic acid upon digestion which may result in gastrointestinal side effects. If taken in moderation dhokla is rich in protein and since it is steam and (not oil) fried, it may add nutritive value.
