rava dhokla recipe | semolina dhokla | suji dhokla | instant rava dhokla | no fermentation rava dhokla | with 15 amazing images

To make instant rava dhokla mix suji, curds, green chilli paste with water, let them rest for half an hour and then steam the batter. The tempering added on top of the rava dhokla after it is cooked is the master stroke, as in the case of any dhokla recipe. It gives the semolina dhokla a fabulous aroma and special flavour.

This recipe does not require any fermenting time making Rava Dhokla (Suji Dhokla) an amazing option for quick breakfast or evening snack.

I would like to share some important tips to make the perfect no fermentation rava dhokla. 1. Just before steaming the Rava Dhokla (Suji Dhokla), add the fruit salt and 2 tsp of water. Don’t mix it vigorously, just gently fold in so, that the air bubbles do not escape. Fruit salt provides a spongy, fluffy texture. 2. Pour the semolina dhokla batter immediately into a 175 mm. (7”) diameter greased thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread the batter in an even layer. Remember after adding the fruit salt, pour it immediately in the thali and don’t let the batter sit idle for long.

Serve suji dhokla with peppy green chutney to make a yummy snack.

Dhoklas are also a good accompaniment with Aamras, Puris and Karela Bateta Nu Shaak.

Enjoy rava dhokla | semolina dhokla | suji dhokla | instant rava dhokla | no fermentation rava dhokla | with detailed step by step recipes and video.

Which type of rava should be used for Rava Dhokla as rava is available as chiroti rava (very fine), upma rava (medium), and bansi rava (a little thicker than upma rava)?

Hi I just made the Rava Dhokla for the first time. It?s delicious ! . However i have 2 questions 1) The dhokla texture was not light enough after steaming. How long do we have to whisk the mixture for before steaming ? 2) After steaming the top surface was not flat and smooth. How do I improve that ?

5

March 13, 2025, midnight

For dhoklas to be soft and fluffy, ensure that the fruit salt you have used is from a sealed packet and has not been kept open for many days. Secondly, after adding fruit salt to the dhokla batter, add warm water over it. Finally whisk the batter very lightly with a spoon only for 5 to 10 seconds. Whisking it vigorously might be the reason for the dhokla turning flat.

Hi which fruit salt is referred here? I made my rava dhokla using eno fruit salt due to which after steaming, my whole batter turned semi brown. Please advise.

5 
user
Tarla Dalal

March 13, 2025, midnight

Yes, you can use Eno fruit salt. The reason for turning brown probably can be that the fruit salt was from an opened packet which has been kept for too long or it has been expired.
