 Dhokla can be eaten for breakfast, as a main course, as a side dish, or as a snack. It is Gujarati dish can be prepared at home with in 20 min. So this can be made with fermented batter. So i thought it to make with Idly batter in a South Indian style. Generally Idly Dhokla is also same as Dhokla but prepared using left over Idly batter.
