Often made from rice, dal and chickpea flour, the Gujarati Dhokla is actually a fermented dish. It can be enjoyed as breakfast, or main course or as a side dish or even as a snack. 


People love dhokla, and why shouldn’t they? It’s soft, fluffy and sort of healthy. The mild flavoured snack is served with the masala Mirchi. It’s a savoury cake which might just be better than a regular frosted cake. 


Dhokla is famously from Gujarat and the origin story is quite unknown. It was however first mentioned in the eleventh century as Dukkia in a Jain text. 


The best way to start your morning is with a plateful of these Rava dhoklas and chutney.
