This rava dhokla recipe is healthy. It goes well with green chutney. Here I have used eno to make the batter airy. If you don’t have eno you can use baking soda also. If you don’t have yogurt you can use lemon juice and increase the quantity of water in the batter to maintain the consistency of the batter.

Here no soaking, grinding is required thus it’s very instant recipe. The amount of oil used here is quite less thus if you are a health conscious person this recipe is perfect for you. To make it more healthy one can add chopped capsicum also. Other veggies can also be added according to your choice. Thus it is even a perfect tiffin recipe for your kids.
