About Dhokala

Dhokla is a steamed savory cake originating from the Gujarati cuisine of India. Made primarily from fermented rice and chickpea flour (besan), this dish is light, fluffy, and mildly tangy, often due to the addition of yogurt or lemon juice. Ingredients commonly used in its preparation include baking soda, green chilies, and spices like turmeric and mustard seeds, which enhance its flavor profile. Dhokla is traditionally served with chutneys and garnished with coriander leaves. This dish is considered healthy due to its steaming technique, which retains nutrients without adding excess oil. Rich in protein from chickpea flour, it is a great option for vegetarians. Fermentation improves its digestibility and boosts gut health. However, moderation is advised due to the use of sodium-heavy leavening agents. Dhokla is gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities while providing a delicious, nutrient-packed snack or breakfast option.
