Sooji Dhokla (Semolina /Yogurt Steamed Cake)


If I have to pick one "goto" dish which is tasty, repeatable and presentable, it would be the Sooji dhokla by Isha of Intrepidcook. It is easy to make "hard" dhokla - believe me I have done that so many times until this superb recipe came along to make the softest dhokla ever.

Although you can make this by using a cake pan that fits well into another pan, it is much more handy to use a dhokla maker. I own a dhokla maker vessel (Special thanks to my MIL) which is similar to a pressure cooker with three stacks of plates. It reduces the steaming time to 10 minutes and is capable of making bite size dhokla pieces. 

I have made this recipe zillion times with great satisfaction :) Isha thanks for sharing this.

Enjoy!

I agree that Pallavi Aunty's sooji dhokla recipe is the best. She has sent me recipes for khaman and nylon and daal dhoklas as well but I haven't had a chance to try them yet. I have been busy with things, as you know, but this post of yours drew me out to comment. Thank you :)
