    Dhokla is a steamed snack very popular in Gujarat and western region of India. You can make this for breakfast, snack or a light dinner with soup. You get various varieties of Dhokla like mixed dal dhokla, instant khaman dhokla and Sandwich dhokla. It is an integral part of Gujarati cuisine. This instant oats dhokla recipe is a tastier way to eat oats. It also gives you a break with eating normal oats.Best part about this recipe is it doesn't dry even after 6-8 hrs.Here we replace gram flour with oats flour in regular dhokla for making instant oats rava dhokla.

    Some people can have oats daily as smoothie or as overnight oats. However, many feel oats are bland. Indians are used to spicy food. We love our traditional breakfast too. Our poha, dhokla, idli and dosa are irreplaceable from our cuisine. We can make all this from oats either as a whole or with addition of oats to the original recipe. Oats dhokla is one such easy recipe. It is a fusion of good taste and healthy food. Serve it with green chutney and curb those hunger pangs with fluffy dhoklas and cup of tea.

    Top tip

    You can also use powder the oats in advance for the above recipe and store it in the jar. This saves time when you want to make it. Just roast it along with sooji whenever you want to eat.

    After steaming, ensure it cools down to room temperature before you cut it into slices. This will make sure it doesn't disintegrate.
