Description

I first got to eat this yummy snak when I was a kid in dhiraj lal sweet shop in Coimbatore . It was some thing like a yellow colour idli . From The first time I got to eat it till date my love for dhokla has not changed a bit . Once I got married I used to crave for dhoklas as there was no shops that sold dhoklas . Some how I managed to get the recipe and made dhoklas but every time it was a big flop . Very recently did I manage to make a great tasting dhokla
