ABOUT Instant Microwave Dhokla RECIPE

Instant Microwave Dhokla is the first microwave recipe that I learnt. Dhokla is a very famous Gujrati dish. It is traditionally steam cooked. In my recipe, I have used microwave instead of steam cooking which reduces a lot of hassle and cuts down the cooking time. This recipe is very healthy as we hardly use 2-3 teaspoons of oil. It is liked by people of all age groups. I have prepared it using Gram Flour or Besan.
