Dhokra

DHOKRA       

A firm favourite in most Gujarati households, this steamed dish is made with fermented gram and rice flour mix.  The Dhokra mix is ferented with sharp tasting yoghurt (this gives the dhokra its tangy flavour). 

There are many varieties of dhokla, made with different lentils, spices and even semolina however, in our household, the dhokra is  made to the traditional recipe and quite often on the menu. During Fall (Autumn) on a crisp cold morning, nothing beats the comfort of savouring garma garam Dhokra with a cup of steaming masala chai.
