This double layered dhokla has yellow khaman and white dhokla steamed together with a hint of spicy green chutney layer sandwiched in between.

    Why is it popular?

    It is a fulfilling appetizer & hearty Indian breakfast. It works great for as a starter for a party. Thus, it is a low oil, low-carb snack. This works well for those watching their weight.

While the market based one has teaspoon sugar syrup added, so that it stays fresh and soft.

      Notes

      You may choose to make multiple layers, if you do not add chutney in between the layers then they will stick more firmly.
      We have used twice the besan (1 cup) than sooji(½ cup) as the besan dhokla will not rise that much as the sooji dhokla with ½ cup. 

      Variation

      If you do not have time to make green chutney, use sauce or ketchup in the middle, instead of mint chutney. You may also make rava dhokla without Eno.

      Crumble the hard dhoklas completely and add the tempering. Serve it as Amiri khaman with garnish of pomegranate seeds.
