Dhokla is one of my loved snacks to satisfy the 4 O'Clock hunger. This time of the day when all I need is a good hot cup of tea with something to munch....not too heavy snack but something light yet filling.
I make a lot of tea time snacks to satisfy my cravings of something yummy and yet hassle free. This is easiest and quickest of all!

Tips:

Try microwaving the dhokla mix for first 2 and 1/2 minutes and if its not done then microwave it for another half minute.
This timing is enough for dhokla to be perfectly cooked.If still not done then microwave it for another minute.
If you like the dhokla little more sweet and spicy,then increase the ginger-green chili paste and add another 1/2 teaspoon more sugar.
