For dhoklas, you may take some time to get used to the process. But these add a great variety of texture and taste vs. your standard meal of daal-roti-sabji. Also, the legumes are great on proteins and a wide variety of nutrition.

So for that reason, dhokla making is a good skill. You can break the process into 3 steps:

• Soaking (8-10 hours). So do this overnight
• Fermenting (8-10 hours): do this in the morning, and keep aside in corner of your fridge
• Actual cooking: 20 minutes only! Do this at dinner time!

Here we use no eno, no additions for fermenting. Just regular overnight (or 8-10 hours) for fermenting.

If you do not have a steamer worry not, add some water to pressure cooker, add a channi at the bottom and then keep your glass or steel vessel. Cover the lid without the pressure.

Method
