furthermore some important tips, suggestions while preparing dhokla in microwave. firstly, i have prepared this dhokla recipe in a 1200W microwave and hence the heat intensity would be more. check your microwave intensity and watt and accordingly, you may have to alter the cooking time. secondly, i would heavily recommend using eno fruit salt to hasten the fermentation process. avoid baking soda as it may introduce the pink or red colour to your instant dhokla recipe. lastly, you can use the same quantity and proportion to prepare the dhokla in gas stove via steam cooking.
