Hi Kajal,
Gr8 recipe. I love dhoklas and u are giving so many varieties of dhoklas. This one looks very nice. Actually I haven't made dhoklas with instant mix becoz I dont buy fruit salt. Want to try this recipe, Can you tell me the substitution for fruit salt?

keep up the good work.

great recipe but you can hardly tell the difference between this and the regular dhokla.

FH said...

Kajal, so good to see you after so long, take care. Yes, 18yrs are long time, so it's natural to find my homeland in a different light but loved meeting family and friends!Hope you start blogging again regularly!

Dhoklas are so fluffy and yummy, will try. See in Sept, busy with vacation and kids' stuff these days!:))
