Instant Microwave Dhokla

Being in land of missiles...errr....remember 3 idiots yes the MISSILES i mean are dhokla, khakra, fafda, gathiya, well i never felt that they are missiles as i love these snacks or what gujju's call them "farsan" the ultimate namkin.
If u order a thali it accompanies the 'farsan' for sure so gujjus cant skip this be it any occasion, a regular thalli or a chai ki pyali, a marriage function or railway junction....

my aai (mom) cooks yum dhoklas, i will try them too but this generation which is always in hurry I thought of trying the instant version first. as it is microwave is there, soda is there so why waste and of course mom don't worry will try the traditional version too soon.

so here's the instant dhokla to save time but relish toungue.

pour it on batter and mix it vigorously....batter will rise almost double.
pour it in about 6 inch greased microwave plate
microwave it on high for 3.5 to 4 mins

transfer it to plate so u can cut pieces
