Description
Rava Dhokla, a variation of the traditional Gujarati Dhokla, is a savory steamed cake made from semolina (rava or sooji) instead of the usual gram flour. This dish stands out for its quick preparation time and delightful texture, making it a popular choice for breakfast or as a light snack throughout India. The incorporation of semolina lends a distinctively soft yet grainy texture to the Dhokla, which, combined with the sourness of yogurt and the slight sweetness of sugar, results in a beautifully balanced flavor profile. The preparation of Rava Dhokla involves mixing semolina with yogurt, water, and a leavening agent, typically fruit salt or baking soda, which contributes to its fluffy, aerated texture. The batter is seasoned with ginger-green chili paste, salt, and turmeric, giving it a mildly spicy and vibrant hue. After a brief resting period to allow the semolina to absorb the flavors, the batter is poured into a greased pan and steamed until it rises and sets into a soft, spongy cake. for Direct Sourcing from India Please Visit
