Dhokla is a Gujarati snack and is made of chick peas flour(besan).I love dhoklas a lot esp the garnish on top with cilantro,green chillies and shredded coconut tempts the most :) and was my favorite during college days.This is a steamed snack and a very simpler one to prepare.If you love savory snacks,you will love this snack as well.The original recipe is to done with eno fruit salt but I replaced it with baking soda.It came out really good ,soft and fluffy.So,sharing the instant dhokla recipe!!

Lovely Dhokla, I also liked the idea of adding coconut scrapings over it. When I stayed in a Sindhi PG in Hyderabad couple of years back, our Sunday breakfast used to be dhokla and jalebi!! It was a great time there!
