DHOKLA-2 !!!!!!!!!

DHOKLA is a popular Gujarati snack in which main ingredient is bengal gram flour. I tried dhokla for many times , i also tried m/w dhokla too n the result was pretty good. But i always wanted to make very soft dhokla. Few months back my FIL's friend & his wife who are from Delhi visited our place. My son told me Aunty is an expert cook & she made very soft soft dhoklas during their (with his grand parents) visit to Delhi. So, i asked aunty about the recipe & she gave me exact measurements & method of making dhokla. I tried this recipe yesterday & believe me it turned out excellent ! Finally i made soft soft & tasty dhoklas. Thank you so so much Pushpa aunty for your yummilicious recipe. It is liked by all at home.
