KHATTA DHOKLA IS A GUJRATHI BREAKFAST DISH, commonly made in almost all homes.
KHATTA DHOKLA is almost similar to IDLY of KARNATAKA. Ingredients are almost the same ie, In both the dishes Rice and Urad dal, is used. But the form is different.
IN IDLY, WE HAVE TO SOAK, GRIND THE BATTER AND THEN FERMENT AND USE. WHEREAS IN DHOKLA WE USE RICE FLOUR AND URAD DAL FLOUR, SO NO QUESTION OF SOAKING, ONLY MIXING AND FERMENTING.
In short, Dhokla is much Easier and Quicker to make and is cooked in Steam so very Healthy Dish. It is very Soft in Structure and Easily Digestible.
It can be a very good choice as BREAKFAST for all and can easily be carried in a Lunch box. Let us see how to make SUPER SOFT AND SPONGY KHATTA DHOKLA.
