You can play around with its taste, texture, composition and looks, endlessly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There are only a few food preparations from India which can attribute their pan-Indian success to a lack of oil in them. Most Indian delicacies thrive on oil, with the basic premise being, the more the merrier! Idli and Dhokla are the top two &#8220;oil less wonders&#8221; Indians enjoy world over. Both Idli and Dhokla have undergone innovations, some good, some great and some just ridiculous. I consider fried Dhokla and fried Idli as two of the most ridiculous innovations.<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few tasty and still healthy innovations of Dhokla for you to try.<\/p>\n<p>1. Paneer Sandwich Dhokla is now almost a standard second variety of Dhokla available at most retail outlets which stock Dhokla.<\/p>\n<p>2. Kasuri Methi Dhokla and Spinach Dhoklas are a good take from the North Indian taste preference perspective.<\/p>\n<p>3. Hare Cholia Ka Dhokla is an even lighter variety of Dhokla, as it has much more moisture than the regular dhokla, almost like the water content in a Rasgulla.\u00a0 Of course it is not as feather light like a Rasagulla, but it is almost there.<\/p>\n<p>4. Golden Corn Dhokla is aimed at getting kids enjoy the current flavor of corn while ensuring that they are culturally and health wise on good ground.<\/p>\n<p>5. Mutter Dhokla is essentially made by adding green peas paste at the time of mixing curd and rice-besan mixture<\/p>\n<p>No post about Dhokla can be complete without a mention of Khandvi and Khaman, both Khandvi and Khaman are closely related to Dhokla and are often considered a part of the Dhokla family.<\/p>\n<p>There are endless other options like Rajmah Dhokla, Mushroom Dhokla and so on. These other options have a very limited following and many like the Mushroom Dhoklas, are inspired by adding toppings Pizza style rather than being complete dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy and do share interesting kinds of Dhokla with us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are only a few food preparations from India which can attribute their pan-Indian success to a lack of oil in them.
