Instant White Suji Ka Dhokla(Rava) Recipe(Updated)

Instant White Suji Ka Dhokla(Rava) Recipe

Suji Ka Dhokla or Rava Dhokla is a soft, fluffy, and steamed savory cake made from suji (Rava or semolina) together with yogurt, spices, herbs and topped with mustard seeds, sesame seeds, and fresh coriander.

Dhokla is a vegetarian savory sponge dish from Gujarati Cuisine. They are usually prepared from gram flour (besan) or with a mixture of rice and Bengal gram soaked overnight, ground to a paste the next day, and left for fermentation for at least four to six hours.

However, Suji Dhokla is an instant version of dhokla prepared with Rava or semolina, yogurt, and Eno fruit salt, which helps to hasten the fermentation process.

This recipe is an easy, quick, and best option for breakfast or evening snacks. These snacks are excellent for sudden guests, a light starter with any meal, kid’s tiffin, and while traveling.

Mint plays a significant role in Indian cuisine. To make these white suji ka dhokla more flavorful and delicious in this recipe, I have added a few mint leaves into the batter, but you can always skip them. Trust me; once you make this snack with mint leaves, you will always prefer making it this way.

Here are a few tips and suggestions to make the perfect suji ka dhokla or rava white dhokla –

• I have prepared these suji ka dhoklas with yogurt. You may use buttermilk instead of yogurt or curd. 
•  I have steamed them on a stovetop, in the traditional method using the plate and kadhai. A dhokla steamer, electric cooker, or an instant pot also works well for steaming.
•  Tempering added after the dhokla is the master stroke of any dhokla; it gives a fabulous aroma making it tastier and more flavorful. Alternatively, tempering can be added directly into the batter and steamed.
• Eno works perfectly for these dhoklas. Alternatively, you can use baking soda if you don’t have Eno. Baking soda activates much faster than Eno; if it is slightly extra, the dhokla may turn red, which is not good to eat. Also, sometimes you may find small red patches over the dhokla (reaction of soda) if not mixed properly. 
• After adding the Eno, immediately transfer the batter for steaming to avoid any baking agent reactions.

This Suji ka dhokla goes best with coriander chutney, papaya sambharo, mint-coriander chutney, mint chutney, or any green chutney you choose. I prefer eating these snacks with green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney with hot tea.

You can watch the video for the Suji Dhokla recipe in Hindi, which has subtitles in Hindi.

I have already shared Rava Besan Dhokla and the traditional Khaman Dhokla recipe. Still, I always wanted to share the alternative version of the instant white Suji ka dhokla (rava) recipe without besan. Also, you can find the Farali dhokla recipe eaten during fasting.
