Notes

  • Mix the batter until it is lump free. You have to rest the batter which is very important.
  • You have to use thick curd for the spongy texture.
  • Baking soda can be used instead of eno fruit salt. In that case, use ½ tsp of cooking soda.
  • Don't over steam the dhokla else it may get dense and dry.
  • Be generous with the tempering, it adds moistness and taste.
