tasty...yummy...quick recipe...can make any time...my family liked it very much...green peas dhokla is a good variation of regular dhokla.
5 stars. It is really so easy. I have tried it in the microwave and the stove top steam method, both are very good. I also substituted the peas with grated baby marrow.
