Tips :
If you don’t have fine sooji just grind normal sooji into the mixer.
If dhokla doesn’t turn out spongy it may be for the following reasons:

• When the batter has not enough moisture.
• Keeping the batter for a long time after adding Eno.
• Steaming on high flame for a long time.
• If Rava is not properly soaked the dhokla will not be spongy.
