Do you use fine or coarse sooji? You have said you use fine sooji and also said fine sooji doesn’t work. See below:
“Manjula Jain October 6, 2010 at 11:07 pm Pani Thuly, I use fine sooji.”
Thank you, Sangita
dear Manjula,
I tried your receipt today but the Dhokla turned out sticky and not soft and fluffy, . Can you use fine sooji? Thanks
Asmita, May be ENO was not good, you can use fine sooji but coarse sooji works batter.
Nice recipe of dhokla, just one question, I am allergic to lemon, can I skip it ?
yes
Hi Manjula Aunty , Suji dhokla and suji idly receipe is more or less the receipe as per your website ….why do you use 1:1 ratio for suji and yogurt for dhokla and half the measurement of yogurt for sooji idly ? Please let me know about this difference
nic dhokla
Thank you for the Sooji dhokla recipe Manjula aunty. I have only tried couple of your recipes but already a fan of yours. I like the originality in your videos. Will probably see you around in USA :-). Could you please fix the written step 1 to add turmeric also in below: Mix the sooji, yogurt, salt, lemon juice, green chili, and cilantro together and make a smooth batter of a pouring consistency. Add water if needed. Read more at https://manjulalive.wpenginepowered.com/dhokla-suji-semolina/#T4k9TRIlcfrqPHRL.99
PK, thanks, I fixed the recipe.

Dear Aunty, Thanks a lot for this recipe. I love dhokla but couldn’t make it often as my family’s stomachs are very sensitive to besan. I surely will try with sooji. Does it taste good when cool too? Am asking if I can use it for my kids’ lunch boxes? Will appreciate your reply. Regards, Madhavi
Madhavi, Yes it will taste good and good for lunch box.

Thanks Manjula Aunty. I have tried dhokla manytimes before but it was never this good however I used almost same ingredients. Then I tried your recipe on youtube today it came wonderfully soft and fluffy.
we enjoyed it so much today.. Thanks once again
Dhokla is very soft and tasty.
In place of ENO can i use anything else like baking soda..
How much cups of sooji should i use if i need to make it for a 30 adults for a party? Thanks for the recipe.
very nice…..loveit dhokla…..
Dhokra came out really delicious
Thanks.
Dhokla came out real nice. Very soft and tasty, thanks for the recipe.
Dear Manjula, I really like this recipe. what would be substitute of ENO? can we use soda or baking powder instead?
Thanks for the recipe. Can i make dhokla in microwave and what temperature should i use? please help.
dear madam
i like all ur recipes u r making. one doubt. can we steam the dhokla in cooker? how much whistle is needed ?
i love dhokla. my husband like it very much with green chutny.
I love the way you cook. You make everything so simple. You have a very calming personality. Love to meet you.
Hi Manjula,I tried this dhokla and it came out very good.Thanks for sharing this.
Hi Manjulaji, this doklas are amazing, they came out delicious, my inlaws loved them, and they are very picky when I cook something. just one question for you, Where are you from? are you gujarati, since you are making everything without onion and garlic?
Hi aunty, dhokla looks so easy i will surely try it and let u know.
Can I use normal Eno (the soda we drink) instead of the fruit salt?
hi, I love dokla and always make it. You can add sesame seeds and curry leaves as well with the seasoning taste good.
Dear Manjulaben,
I try soji dhokla yesterday, i don’t know what i did wrong but dhokla came out very sticky.i did every thing what you infrom on receipt,i let soji & dahi (curd) stay for 30 minutes to format. i was in tears when my dhokla did not came out right.please help me to find what i did wrong. dhokla was very sticky does not wants to een touch it.
the dhokla recipe looks exciting, Ive tried makng Dhoklas in the past but have always failed. Please let me know wether it is mandatory to use Eno Salt, or is sodium bicarbonate sufficent,If yes where can it be procuresd locally
Rushali, I have never tried with sodium bicarbonate why not try it and let us know.
easy to try and a very good taste
Hi Manjula Auntie, I don’t have anything that I can steam my dhokla in. Do you think I can bake it in the oven? Thank you! Sonia
Sonia, dhokla batter can only be steamed. If you bake it, you’ll end up with a hard, dry lump.
dear all,
i regularly make this dhokla, however, i just make them immediately and they turn out excellent. actually sugee is a substitute for the traditional dhoklas which require atleast 6 -8 hrs of soaking. made them instantly when i’ve had guests. if you have sour curd, then lemon is not required. best wishes to all!
aunty manjula, tqvm for sharing your recipies and the videos. really appreciate it.
There must be some substitute for Eno in the recipe for Dhokla. Eno fruit salt isnt something that was handy when dhokla’s were being made in India generations ago. How did they make dhokla’s the traditional way? Please Manjula, I love your recipes and am open to modern short cuts, but for the most part I try to avoid adding chemicals to my food-please give me a substitute for Eno!
Very true – how did they make healthy dhoklas without chemicals before these were invented?
Dear Manjula Aunty, Thank you for your wonderful recipes. Which sooji is good for this recipe? Fine or coarse?
Pani Thuly, I use fine sooji.
Dear Manjula,
I love watching your cooking videos. I have tired couple of your recipes and it was delicious. I love your Dhokla recipe, it looks so simple to make. I will make it at my Diwali party for sure. Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes
Dear Manjula,
Having leaved in New Zealand and Australia all my life, I have learnt Indian cooking from your beautiful recipes…..I didn’t know what Dhokla was until I recently watched the movie 3 Idiots!! Thank you for taking us into your kitchen and sharing your receipes. I have tried your dhokla receipe, and I love it. Many thanks.
I always want to make dhokla.It look so good ,Iwill try it for sure .My mom always makes your recipes .She told me to watch it ,watching the video make it more easier ,Thankyou for these videos
aunty, if i want to use 1/2 cup suji, then what proportion of eno, curd and water shall i use?
thanks
hi,mam u share great recipes n with easiest way.my question to u for particular this recipe is about using cooking soda instead of eno? because my dhokla did not come up soft n spongy when i tried it with eno.
hi aunty, can you please reply to this doubt of mine: why didnt my dhoklas turn out soft and spongy? thanks
Pia, The only thing I can think of the eno salt is not very effective if it is sitting unused for long time.
Hi Aunty, Thank you for the dhokla recipe. it came out nice, except that it was a little hard while eating and also cutting. it was not soft and spongy. what could be my mistake? thank you.
Hi Manjula Aunty,
how r u ? i like ur receipe. can i use the fine suji in dhokla ?
Thanks Nitu
Nitu, Fine sooji does not work as good.
Do you use fine or coarse sooji? You have said you use fine sooji and also said fine sooji doesn’t work. See below:
“Manjula Jain October 6, 2010 at 11:07 pm Pani Thuly, I use fine sooji.”
Thank you, Sangita
hello manjula aunty hw r u? can i try dhokla in micro wave oven?
Hello Aunty,
I am writing to you again and requesting the same thing..can you please post your own recipe for besan dhokla..i know yours will taste the best and will be the easiest to make :))
Parul, Thanks for having so much confidence in me. I have never made basen dhokla may be in future I will learn.
Thanks for your reply Aunty..well then I will be waiting for this new recipe from you :)) btw with your recipes m like the coolest BAHU for my in laws hehehe
Hi mamm,
I have tried ur many recipes(also this one) & i love them all, BUT Plzzzzzzzzzzzz can U also tell us, how to make BESAN DHOKLA..? Because it does’t taste like Besan Dhokla…
Thanks, Rashmi sharma
THANK YOU FOR THIS RECIPES.
Hello manjula auntie, thank you for the wonderful dhokla recepie and all the other recepies. Could you please suggest me any substitute to ENO as i could not find it here. It will be very kind of you. Thanks, regards Shivrani
Thanks for lovely recepie I can try this my husband love dhokla
thank you very much for the great recipe. i tried and it came out really good .
Hello Aunty, Can you please post receipe for making besan dhoklas like we get in the market with a sweet taste(they have sugary water) in it.My husband loves it and I really want to try it out. I searched other sites but i am so used to yours that i want a receipe from you. Thanks in advance Aunty.
Regards Parul
hi there,if i donot add the Eno is there any prb? and can i cook it in the Electric oven?
If you don’t add Eno, the batter will not puff like a dhokla when baked and will remain flat. An electric oven works fine (that’s what I use).
when using electric oven what is the power we should use and for how long it should be baked?
Read the directions carefully, dhokla is NOT baked in the oven, but steamed on top of the stove.
you wrote,”An electric oven works fine (that’s what I use).” and that’s why the question was asked by me…
Sorry Fatima, my error on the electric oven part.
Dear Manjula Aunty,
Thanks so much for this recipe. I turned out very good…I think this is much better than the besan one.
I will be trying the khasta kachori next. Please kee your recipes coming.
Thanks and God Bless:) Rashmi.
Hi Aunty,
this recipe looks gr8 and I want to try it but I dont have eno fuit salt. Is there any substitute other than that? Please let me know. Thanks.
i just love indian food and this is the best cake
I did try making the dhokla a couple of times. It did turn a bit hard the first time becos i probably overcooked it but the second time it was nice and fluffy.I think it also depends on the constituency of the mixture .
Hello Majulaji,
I am looking for bread making recipe on the bread making machine. My bread always comes out half cooked/raw..do you have any idea how to do this?
YOur reply would be appreciated..
Thanks, Dina
Dina, your bread machine could be defective or maybe you’re putting too much dough in for what the machine can adequately bake. Also, check that you are using the correct settings for the amount of bread you are baking. Just some ideas to check.
Hi Aunty , whenever I make dhokla it comes out hard not soft and fluffy , where am I wrong, mybe my batter is thick or I’m steamimg them for more time , please help me
I love watching your cooking videos. I made black bean salad and Alu ghobi for the party i have at my home and everybody loved it
hello Manjula ji………..
can u plz tell how to make dhokla using oven?
thanx in advance
hi deepi, u can do one thing, u keep the batter in microwave for 5 min, your dhokla will come out so nice, try it i did it, its too easy n fast to cook 🙂 best of luck.
your recipes are so easy and simple to make. i never attempt complicated dishes but with your video recipes I am actually trying them now. you have a motherly touch…. thanks Jaya
Manjula auntie..you are awesome..I tried your dhokla recipe and my husband loved it..we both finished it and he asked for more 🙂 I am also going to try punjabi chole recipe today..
Hi Aunty , thank you for the great receipe – just one question : what kind of suji do we buy for this – the coarse upuma variety or the fine one ? Please advice .
use coarse one for fluffy dhokalas……if u use fine suji, dhokla will be dense not spongy.
Hi aunty! I love all your recipes. The best part about your recipes is that you make it simple by not adding too much masala. You know how much is good! I have a doubt about this dhokla recipe, I wanted to know why you haven’t added besan to it? I do not want to add besan to dhokla and most of my friends say that besan is necessary to make dhoklas? Can you please tell me why?
Hi Sneha,
This is Rava Dhokla so that is why its is made with Rava/Sooji. Traditionally in Gujarat, Dhokla is made with Besan. Manjula Aunty gave us another version of dhokla which is lighter than the Besan version.
It is really a wonderful dish yesterday i had tried it, instead of Eno salt i tried baking powder for which i think it is less fluppy but taste was good
Thanks a lot for your recipes! They are much more easier than some other sites that I had viewed before and you cook eveything so easily and also by using the utensils which many wouldn’t be having, ie, like the dhokla sets. You especially make all the dishes considering people who are not able to get a lot of things and your recipes are also not very very spicy but the tastes are just great! Thanks once again Manjula.
You make everything so easy to cook. Thank You . Richi
Manjula Ji,
Thanks a lot for your vidieos.
Regards Ashwani
your recipe is delisious
Great stuff, very helpfull and I really liked to watch it, thanks for taking your time to show us, will try the dhokla and pani puri recepies and o yeah masala chips too!!!
hello aunty, how ru? i have tried ur cabbage kofta,palak panner,pav bhaji…..its very interesting to cook for new learners…….this website is very useful aunty..thank u very much……how to do baking recepies and garam masala…. can u plz tell me……so kind of u in creating such beautiful recepies
Thank You so Much.Auntie.You have helped me so much.I always wondered how my mother made all of this.Now i can do it myself.Practice makes perfect though
Dear Manjulaji, Its a pleasure watching you churn out these tasty and healthy recipes. I usually opt for food that does not have much oil and I think most of your recipes are lean and healthy. Thank you so much for sharing your culinary expertise with newbies like me.
Hello Manjula ji,
Thanks for sharing all your delicious recipes. I am addicted to your website and love trying all the dishes.
Mamta
Hello manjula , Namaste! Hi! I have been following your receipes and it comes out so good.Thanks for all the delicious food. Anuja
16/05/09 Hello manjula mam, please advice me option for cilantro for making rava dokhla. thanks & regards, Anuja
aunty ji, how do i make a vegan verson of this. how can i replace the yoghurt?
Hi Manjula aunty, I would like to make Dhokla with Besan (gram flour). Can you please share your recipe for it? I’ve been trying most of your recipes and they really turned out super. Thx, Sav
Manjula ji,
one quick question….in sooji dhokla recipe …do i take fine sooji or coarse? should the sooji be roasted ?
thanks, nidhi
Hi nidhi, use coarse sooji and I dont roasr the sooji.
I tried the dhokla recipe but it did not rise at all. Does it make a difference if you use 0 fat yogurt or regular fat yogurt? I can’t think of any other reason why it wouldn’t rise. I followed the recipe exactly.
Hello Manjula Aunty… Can you please share a video of Khamman Dhokla. Made with besan.. I have tried it many times and it always comes so dry… I have tried so many versions and none has come out correctly.
aunty, is there any alternative for eno? i donno where to find it in the store! kindly reply back email to me.
Eno is sold at just about any Indian grocery store in the U.S.
Thanks for your prompt reply Aunty. But I currently live in Sweden and when asked so many Asian stores here, they look strange at me! Is there any way i can make Dhoklas. I tried putting baking soda and baking powder and tried but it turned out tasty for a idli and not exactly dhoklas!
Eno is a British product, sold as an antacid. Try non-Asian stores that may have British products.
Hi, we have an Indian grocery shop in Copenhagen Denmark. Eno is available in our shop. It’s at Vesterbrogade 104 in Copenhagen (close to the central station).
Btw, Manjula auntie thank you so much for all the recipes – thoroughly enjoying them 🙂
Hi Mnajula Aunti Namaste!! I have made some of ur recipies and my family like it very much, Thanks for that. Can u please help me how to make dosha? pls tell me or add in ur recipies, so that i can make it. Thanks
hi I have been following your receipes and it comes out so good. Thanks for posting good receipes but can you also give us receipe for making khaman with gram fluor, i have tried so many times but i could not make it properly.
hi manjula aunty could you please post a recepie about chana daal khaman thank you very much for all the recepes!
hi aunty, i want to know the recipe of normal DHOKLA, plz can u tell me this, waiting 4 ur reply
Hello Manjula maam,
When I tried making this, it gave a good rise in the middle of the pan but when I inserted the fork, it didn’t get cooked so I left them to get cooked for 15 to 20 more minutes. I am not sure what went wrong…
Hi and ja-ijinendra Thanks for delicious and easy to learn your recepies.
Hello Aunty
I have tried your dhokla recipe and it has come out really nice on number of occassions. However in the middle of the tray the dhokla mixture does not rise.
I have steamed the dhokla on medium heat and it still does not rise in the middle. Can you tell the reason.
Sandeep, How big the plate you are making the dhokla, if it is 12″ in diameter that’s the only time I think you should have problem.
Thanks for the recipes . I like your cooking recipies . My cousin Renu told me about your website. Your method of cooking and is great and easy to learn for the beginners too. Thanks for showing each step patiently. I am going to try making a few dishes especially desserts like gulabjamun, rasmalai, and the snacks like khasata katchoris. Actually I tried rasmalai… but it was not that soft ….is it because the paneer was left on the stove for long time?….How to make them more soft…Awesome cooking website!!!
Hello Nita, I think you figured out the problem yourself. As soon curd separate close the heat and the other thing knead the dough more. This should help.
Hello Nita Here is a tip to keep the paneer soft. As soon as the milk separates from the whey turn off the stove and put some ice cubes in that to stop the cooking process. It will not only stop the cooking process but will also make it easier to handle the paneer. Also I usually knead the paneer in a food processor. It keeps the paneer super soft. These tips works for me hope it works for you too. Good Luck
you are the best 🙂
Hi Manjulaji,
I have made the dhokla but it was sticky some how. can u explain me why it was too sticky ?
Hello Aunty Nice recipe will definitely try it….Also can you please show us how to make khandavi and post some more recipe with rice,like tomato rice, green rice and of course veg pulao….thanks so much for all your superb yet simple recipes….you are the best….
Thank you, Recipe looks good, I will try.
hi,
i see some of few asking for a TRADITIONAL DHOKLA RECIPE.
I am a Gujarati making traditional style dhoklas since quite a few years now…so you can trust this recipe as its tried & tested…
3 cups regular rice 1 cup udad dal 1/2 cup chana dal
mix all the above, wash & soak for 5-6 hours.
grind the above mixture in a mixer to an idli batter like consistency.
if you have sour buttermilk, add buttermilk while blending instead of water.
if you have dahi, make the batter by mixing water in the mixer, then add about 2 cups dahi & mix well.
buttermilk or dahi is added to help in fermentation & make dhoklas softer.
mix all the above & let it ferment for 6-8 hours.
this makes about 6-7 plates of dhokla, so if you want to make less plates, freeze the additional fermented dough at this point & use it later.
for the mixture that you want to use right away, add salt to taste, pinch of turmeric powder, green chilli paste, garlic paste, ginger paste (ratio is 3:2:1 spoon), pinch of soda or eno. when you taste the batter, it should hv taste of all the flavors slightly more than you wish as the flavors reduce a bit while steaming.
after greasing the plate & adding the dhokla batter, i also like to sprinkle little red chilli powder on the top of the batter for better flavor.
follow the same steaming & cooling process as in this recipe.
if you want dhokla with seasoning, heat oil, add rai, teel (sesame seeds), green chilli pieces & hing, add the dhokla diamonds, mix till all seasoning has spread evenly.
serve hot with dhania chutney or garlic n red chilli powder chutney mixed with oil.
hi,
i’m a gujarati making dhoklas in the traditional fermenting style since many years now…& also loved this instant rava dhokla – real quick & easy recipe…for a slightly more intense flavor, adding 1/2 tsp garlic paste & 1/2 tsp ginger paste to the dhokla batter helps…
also for the sandwich dhokla lovers, add half the batter as stated in this recipe to the steam pan, let it steam for about 5 mins till slightly cooked, then cover this first layer with any chutney of your choice (green dhania chutney or garlic n red chilli powder chutney tastes good) pour the remaining batter & cook till completely done (for another 5-7 mins) seasoning remains the same..
lovely website, thanks for all the flavorful recipes..
Great and simple recipe. Tried it out and all loved it. Thx a lot.Keep bringing us good stuff like this.
hello manjula aunty, thanks a lot for sharing your receipes with us , Itried most of ur recps and they came out really well ,thanks for all ur efforts .i want to knw the receipe for regular dhokla made with besan ,can you pls share tht will us. thank u we all love you
Hi Aunty,
I tried most of your recipes and it turns out good for the first time itself. This dhokla was so easy and tasty. I made for diwali and people were asking for the recipe. Thank you.
Hello Aunti – Love all your food! Really helps to see how to make it. Can you show how to make the regular Dhokla with chana dal and rice, tur dal? I see a lot of recipes for khaman and suji but no regular dhokla recipe which is the one I love and it is also low fat and low sugar and very nutritious. Thank you Love your site.
And also, don’t use the weight on the pressure cooker. Just put the lid on snugly. Jaya
Hi Lakshmi, I can answer half of your question. I put 3 to 4 katoris (little stanless bowls) on the bottom of my pressure cooker because my cake rack is too large. The katoris will bobble around a little during boiling, but it works great! Jaya 🙂
Namaste Manjulaji
Can I use pressure cooker to steam the dhokla? I dont have a cake rack or a cake basin? Can I use the pressure cooker utensil and steam it inside it without using weight? And also I dont have ENO, can I use baking soda instead?
thanks Lakshmi
Hello Manjula aunty ji, I have tried your recipe of chole(Chana Masala),came out reall good. Thank You for the webiste.
LOL that doesn’t even make any sense!
Dear Manjula
Thankyou so much for this recipe – I have been waiting a long time to find it! Your website is great and so are your recipes!
Hi aunty, I made this recipe too today and it come out very well, very spongy. I would also like to make it with besan, can u pls tell us how?
we cook besan dhokla ? the same way or anyother . please reply me urgent .
Regards, Gagan uppal
jaya di… 🙂
Hi Ayesha, Di is fine – I’m not too picky on these points. I’m working my way towards “middle age”, but not quite there yet. 🙂
hey jaya di thanks for the reply… and yes ur absolutely right… the taste gets a boost when u take cooking as fun… so m gonna show my son some MAGIC now lollss
PS i dunno hw old r u… bt i hope u didnt mind that i adressed u as di!!
Hi Ayesha, Yes, it’s the same stuff used for an upset tummy! You add it after the batter has set for an hour as stated in the recipe. When you add it the batter comes to life as the baking soda and citric acid cause the batter to rise and puff. I found it amusing. If you have kids around you can show them the “magic”. Anything to keep cooking fun right? 🙂
dear aunty / jaya di the eno that u hav used here in the recipe… is this the regular eno that u get at chemist shop, used as an antacid??? also, can u plz post the recipe for besan dhokla and khandwi too… thanks n regards ayesha.
I tried with soda bicarb, taste was good but my dhokla was red in color
Hi Shilpa, try to use mix of half baking soda and half citric acid, should work.
Dear MAnjulaJi Can I use baking powder or baking soda instead of eno fruit salt?
Hi Ashima, The list of English/Hindi translations just for cooking can get quite long. I have a cookbook with a really complete list of translations in the back of the book. If you can, visit the cooking section of a large book store and flip through the Indian cooking books for one that has a good list of translations.
The best cook book I have for translations is “The Art of Indian Vegetarian Cooking” by Yamuna Devi. If you are in the US it should be an easy book to get.
If you have any pressing English cooking words that you would like to know the Hindi for, post them in a reply and we’ll try to help you.
Namaste aunty….must say you are doing a wonderfull job..and the recipes are so delicious..and when we watch its much easier to follow and few chances of mistake..i haven’t tried any of your dishes..since i have just seen it..but will surely try all of them..i have made besan dhokla many times..and with your help now its time for suji dhokla..but anuty one request to you..can you also please translate all the ingreidents also in hindi…?? just the ingrediants..please aunty..because some names are very difficult to understand….please.. thankss….

Omg thanx so much.. that was really very great of you to teach people like me & others some really gud dishes 😉 Im defo going to try making this tomarrow. Thanx.x
Thank you Jaya.
ENO is sold as ENO Fruit Salt. It is white powder that is a mix of Sodium Bicarbonate (46.4%), Citric Acid (43.6%), Sodium Carbonate (10%). GlaxoSmithKline makes this product. It was invented by James Crossley Eno (1827-1915) in England in 1850s. (ok more info that you were looking for, but there really was a Mr. Eno behind the name!)
In the U.S. find it at Indian grocery stores.

hi ms. manjula,
can u please tell me whether i can use upma suji or fine suji. please let me know. i am eager to try this recepi.
thanks vani.
Manjula I completely love your recepies and your style of cooking. Makes things so much easier with the videos. Thank you for putting this all together. Keep up the good work!!
BTW: I have also made dokla with all besan, no sooji. Do you make it that way also?
Dear Manjula, I love Indian cooking, but have so far only learned from books. Thank you for showing me how it is done. Now I have a better understanding of how things should look and feel as I cook them. I have made dokla three different ways, but I think your recipe makes the most sense. You are a terrific teacher.
I have seen both ways so yes you can roast the semolina.
dear manjula aunty
can we use roasted semolina for this dhokla recipe? ur recipes are too good and easier. i like ur presentation .
I LOVE your style! You are the embodiment of gracious Indian lady. You also make everything seems soo easy and inspire me to cook more. You remind me of my mother who lives far away in India. When I miss home in India a lot, I sometimes watch your video and feel great again. Thanks!
I came here from youtube.
Very nice site.
