Idli Dhokla is an instant recipe, in which there is no need cut and shape the dhokla pieces, as its already in small discs shape. I have already shared Instant Khaman Dhokla Recipe earlier, which has prepared with gram flour only and rava/ semolina is not added. So it has little different flavour than that. It is healthy breakfast option too for busy mornings.

Tips:
- Always use good quality besan, else the dhokla will be dense.
- After adding Eno fruit salt, steam the dhokla immediately to have soft and spongy dhokla.
- You can also use sesame seeds for tempering.
- Idli Dhokla tastes great when served hot with tomato ketchup.
