Orangey Besan Dhokla

Besan Dhokla is my fav breakfast. Made from besan this dish is nutritious, low calorie, protein rich recipe ideal for breakfast and snack time. You can serve Dhokla in many ways – Idlli , Muffins or “Dhokla cake”. Recipe is the same only way of serving is different 😋😋😋
But this Dhokla cake is little different. It’s sugarless. Generally we add sugar to make dhokla little sweet. So I replace sugar with orange juice or mosambi juice. It makes Dhokla more tastier and more healthier.
