Pretty u have a great blog. Yummy dhokla
ReplyDeleteHi Preety,
ReplyDeleteI want to make dhokla, but can I substitute with baking powder and butter milk instead of Eno?
Thanks!
Tina
TINA:- I would recommend you to add baking soda instead of baking powder,baking powder won’t be able to leaven the dhokla batter & you can add buttermilk instead of water to make the dhokla batter.
looks really delicious!pls mention quantities in grams simultaneously.1 cup besan is in gms.
ReplyDeleteCan you make it without fruit salt or use a substitute?
ReplyDeleteyou can use baking soda instead,,,
ReplyDeleteHow much sesame seeds do you put?
ReplyDeleteabout 1-2 tsp of sesame seeds
ReplyDeleteIt's delicious and also It's looking g
ReplyDeleteHi.. I hv khaman dhokla mix wid me.. any idea how can I use it wid eno? In wat proportions?
ReplyDeleteHi Neha... I have never used dhokla mix so i am not sure but i have used idli mix and it already have all the ingredients to make a instant idli and i am sure it is the same case with dhokla mix too...
ReplyDeleteHi- how long after mixing initial ingredients do you need to add Eno? And How long after adding Eno is the batter ready to be steamed usually? Thanks! Planning on trying today.
ReplyDeleteSowmya:- After mixing all the initial ingredients you can immediately add eno and then mix lightly into the batter and you will notice the fizz in the batter and as soon as eno is mixed immediately add to the thali/vessel and steam ..
