Tips and notes for instant khatta dhokla. 1. Rice, dals, fermented food in general are a bit difficult to digest, hence a little addition of hing will help in aiding digestion. 2. You can make sour curd at home by adding more culture (curd) in milk and letting it ferment for a longer duration at room temperature. If sour curd is not available, add a little lemon juice to make the batter sour. 3. The best part about this quick khatta dhokla is the batter does not require any soaking or fermenting. 4. Just before steaming, sprinkle the fruit salt. After adding the fruit salt, do not let the batter sit idle for a long time or else you won’t get soft, spongy white dhoklas. 5. I personally love drizzling ghee on top of khatta dhokla to keep moist and soft.
