Rava dhokla gets a convenient make-ahead twist with a homemade dry mix that can be prepared much like a pancake or chai mix. Instead of starting from scratch every time, combine the dry ingredients in advance, store them in an airtight container, and use a portion whenever you want fresh, soft dhokla. The mix brings together fine rava, besan, and simple seasonings, while curd and water turn it into a batter when you're ready to cook.
The best thing about this instant dhokla recipe is that you can get most of the prep done before you even turn on the steamer! The dry mix allows you to portion out just the right amount of dhokla you need, making it perfect for busy mornings, evening snacks, or whenever you're craving something homemade without the hassle of lengthy preparation. Fresh curd brings a tang, and fruit salt works its magic to make the batter light and airy before steaming.
The instant rava dhokla has a light, airy texture and is gently flavoured with a blend of aromatic spices. You can enjoy it with coriander chutney, sweet tamarind chutney, or a cup of masala chai. For best results, keep the dry mix away from any moisture and add the fruit salt just when you're ready to steam the batter.
