We have used idli batter to make the instant khatta dhokla recipe. This khatta dhokla using idli batter requires ZERO fermentation and great to use your left over idli batter. So if you have idli for dinner, next day use the idli batter to make white dhokla for breakfast.

The ‘khatta’ in the instant khatta dhokla is the dominant flavour of this traditional khatta dhokla and this sourness is brought about by adding a little sour curds. Gujarati’s also call khatta dhokla.

Gujaratis and khatta dhokla go synonymous. White dhokla are popular steamed cakes made using rice and urad dal. Also, there are hundreds of variation to the dhokla recipe, here we have made it instantly by using idli batter and skipping the long fermentation hours and waiting.

Traditionally there is no tempering made for the safed dhokla but, if you like then heat some oil and temper with mustard seeds and curry leaves and add it to the batter before steaming. Alternatively you can also spread this tempering on the dhokla after steaming.

Tips and notes for instant khatta dhokla. 1. Rice, dals, fermented food in general are a bit difficult to digest, hence a little addition of hing will help in aiding digestion. 2. You can make sour curd at home by adding more culture (curd) in milk and letting it ferment for a longer duration at room temperature. If sour curd is not available, add a little lemon juice to make the batter sour. 3. The best part about this quick khatta dhokla is the batter does not require any soaking or fermenting. 4. Just before steaming, sprinkle the fruit salt. After adding the fruit salt, do not let the batter sit idle for a long time or else you won’t get soft, spongy white dhoklas. 5. I personally love drizzling ghee on top of khatta dhokla to keep moist and soft.

I usually make instant khatta dhokla for evening snack or serve it as a side dish along with any meal. Sometimes, also use this as a tiffin treat as my kids love these soft khatta dhokla, you can also carry it along while travelling or on a one day train journey!! You can also make this quick khatta dhokla when you have guests walking in suddenly or use this as a breakfast recipe!

Also try other dhokla variants like Methi Moong Dal Dhokla, Rava and Vegetable Dhokla and Chola Dal Dhokla.

Excellent recipe. The dhoklas came out very spongy. I did not buy readymade idli batter, instead I followed your idli batter recipe. Thank you for sharing.
