I missed my regular posting time and made it late last night and that too in Microwave for a quicker version. The Dhokla tasted great so I would be making it again in the regular method as well. Since it was going to be a quick version, I steamed it in small bowls to be individual servings. You can follow the regular method of steaming it in a bigger plate and slicing it down.
The fresh sweet corn nibbles add to the taste and this surely is a great snack for the kids.

Microwave method seems to be so quick and this Makai Dhokla is very impressive Srivalli. My kids will try new recipes, so bookmarking this.
Microwave version sounds very easy and quick when compared to the steamed one, loving that beautiful deep yellowish colour of the dhoklas.
this sounds wonderful Valli. MW makes it even more interesting
Have to try these soon. The MW idea makes it more appealing. Valli, is makai flour same as the corn flour?
Suma, Makai flour is corn meal or corn flour which is yellow in colour. And not the Corn flour (known as corn starch in US) that is white and use as a thickening agent.
Yummy looking corn dhokla.
No one enjoys dhoklas more than the kids and myself.So this is surely going to be on our menu soon.MW version sounds so good 🙂
