Hi Hetal / Anuja
Wanted to know if condensed milk could be substituted for coconut cream( the sweet tinned one).
The recipe says Sooji Dhokla, is there a Besan Dhokla too? Or is Dhokla traditionally made with Sooji?
Thanks,
Mamtha
Hey ladies ,
Its me again. I know i asked you a question but your recipe sounded so great , I couldn’t wait . I tried to make a batch by halving all the quantities you had mentioned and I used 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda. It turned out AWESOME!!!!!!!!! Thanks a ton to you guys …..You are the best ……………I have always loved dhokla but always thought it is next to impossible to make at home…to tell you the truth i dont like the sweet taste in the store bought ones so actually this one works the best for me . The only thing missing in mine I would say is the tanginess from the citric acid….Next time I will just add a little lemon juice. That should do the trick …….I cant wait for my husband to come home and try it …………
Sorry for the long post but I couldn’t contain myself……..
Thanks a million again you guys!!!!!!!!
Hi Padmasudha,
Awesome! Hope you saved some for your hubby…. 😉
Thanks for your feedback.
Hello Ladies,
Just a small question. I live in India and I dont think we get Eno fruit salt here. We do get the Eno antacid mix that is had with water to cure heartburns. Is it the same??????? IF not can I use baking soda instead ? If yes what quantity should i use.
Second thing , i saw in your Khamman recipe you covered the lid with a cover. Is it not required for dhokla ?
Please advise………….
Thank you
BTW……….Love you guys:-)
it cam eout very well. thanks
Hi Hetal and Anuja,
Thanks for this recipe…can i make this in microwave idli maker? please reply…please:)
Hi Richa,
We do not own a microwave idli maker so are not sure if it will work. Maybe you can try a small batch and see if it works.
hi
Can we use a pyrex glass container to steam instead of a steel one?
Hi Meera,
Pyrex is usually oven or heat safe, however, you may find it very difficult to pull the glass container out of your steamer pot.
Hi Hetal & Anuja,
I tried this recipe today and it turned out so well…really unexpected that we landed up having this to our hearts content for dinner. I have been making dhokla but this was very tasty and specially sesame seeds added flavor.
Keep up the good work.
