I guess the entire post took me about 10 minutes from the start to end, with cooking time involved, plus uploading the pictures. You can't get a better instant dhokla in place.

For the all the dhokla fear one has, from this recipe to this current one, it depends on how you view it! When I had announced Khaman Dhokla for ICC years back, I never knew I will again be making an instant one for the same. Though the taste is not exactly as spongy as you get with the regular ones, this dhokla steamed in microwave oven, still tastes great.

I was very late for my third day post and all I had was just about 10 mins. Will surely be improvising on the texture to get that spongy taste as well. Meanwhile you can enjoy what's on plate today.

Though it looked like we are going to have a long week off for the Kids vacation, it's almost close to the school reopening. Both the boys keep counting how many days have gone in and plan what next to play. It's surprises that days simply pass off like that!

When I was making this in the morning, all of them were so intrigued and wanted to know what it was and how it was called! They were making fun on hearing Dhokla.
