Rava (sooji or semolina) Dhokla Recipe with step by step photo - Dhokla is a very popular Gujarati snack. It is delicious soft and spongy idli like snack. Generally it prepared with gram flour (besan). But this dhokla is prepared with rava (sooji or semolina). I have added grated carrot to make it more healthy. This is an easy, quick and instant rava dhokla recipe and does not require any fermentation. I have steamed the dhokla in an electric rice cooker. You can use dhokla steamer or even a pressure cooker for steaming the dhokla. Dhokla goes well with green/hari chutney or tamarind chutney.
