Awesome combination, actually speaking I love have dhokla with green chutney!!! Thanks for sharing this recipe…
Is there an option to do it without eno salt? i dont get it in my area…
You can add baking (cooking)soda to this . But do not add more than 1/2 tsp.

can you suggest a substitute for eno?
You can add 2 pinches of baking soda but it won't turn out that soft as eno
Hi mam!! Drool worthy dhoklas!!! Is it necessary for 1 hr standing time? Can it be mixed immediately?
