Notes

  1. You can add 2 tsp of Sugar to the Tadka mix. It gives more sweetness to Khaman Dhokla.
  2. When you are preparing Dhokla in Pressure Cooker, don't forget to remove its whistle from the lid.
  3. Always serve the Dhokla hot or warm with some raw Papaya Chutney and Fried Chilies.
  4. Don't pour too much water in the end, as it may turn your Dhokla a little soggy in texture.
  5. If you want to store Dhokla, refrigerate it. It remains fresh for 10-12 hours in the refrigerator.
