Bored of dhokla? Never again, if you decide to load it with the world's yummiest fillings. That way, you get to have a different dhokla each day and there's never a boring moment in the kitchen. In this particular creation, we have boosted the dhokla with colourful capsicum flavoured in Szechwan style and presented it in the form of schezwan stuffed dhokla.
The spongy schezwan dhokla Indian snack makes an absolutely awesome party snack as it is attractive to behold and yummy to bite into, with the lovely crunch of capsicum and a warm Oriental flavour. These dainty dhoklas with a colourful and attractive hue are perfect to serve as a party snack.
The best feature of this easy suji schezwan dhokla is that it involves no fermenting unlike most other dhoklas. When time permits you can also try making Schezwan sauce at home. Try other dhokla recipes like Microwave Mug Dhokla or Makai Na Dhokla.
Tips for rava dhokla with stuffed schezwan filling. 1. While we have used colourful capsicum, if you don’t find them then use only green capsicum. 2. We have also used mini dhokla moulds with a hole in the centre for the filling. But if you don't have that, you can use small cups and make a depression in the dhokla using the back of a spoon. 3. After adding the fruit salt, remember to mix gently. Mixing it vigorously will reduce its effect and the dhokla may not turn spongy.
