You can also surprise your guests with this innovative snack. We use a base of idli batter cooked in a dhokla thali for the sushi. This base is then lined with black sesame seeds and coconut on one side, and a cheesy, spicy garlic chutney on the other.
Crunchy capsicum strips are placed on the idli base before rolling and cutting it up like a sushi! Serve the Dhokla Sushi with Bell Peppers with the wasabi mayo mix to complete the awesome experience.
When you have more time, try pucca sushi recipes like the Cucumber Sushi and Avocado and Cream Cheese Sushi as well as other Oriental delicacies like the Steamed Wontons .

Hi Swati, Thanks for noticing. Fruit salt has to be added in the idli batter. Wasabi paste is readily available in market. Do try the recipe and share with us your feedback.

I tried the deshi sushi. It turned out so good. I just didn''t get the sauce, but still tasted good. Extremely creative and tasty. Thank you!

Hi Swati, You can try mixing mayonnaise with curry powder, green chutney or schezwan sauce.

Hi, wanted to try this recipe- have one question regarding the idli batter. Should we use the wet batter that you get in the market and then mix curd and eno in it or make the Dhokla layer with the dry sooji idli batter?

Tarla Dalal
March 13, 2025, midnight
Hi Archana, Use the readymade idli batter which you get in the market. Then add the curd and eno to make the dhokla.
