Ragi Rava dhokla, a very simple snack to make and oil free as it is steam cooked. Ragi is a rich source of fiber, calcium, and iron. When it is consumed it is considered to be a great food for weight control, diabetes and cooling the body. Ragi is also gluten-free and highly suitable for those who are lactose intolerant. You can read more about ragi flour benefits here.
Ragi rava dhokla is very easy to make. To make instantly I used eno fruit salt. While using eno fruits salt certain points should be taken care
- Use new packet always. As a result of using already opened a pack, dhoklas does not become spongy.
- Add Eno as soon as you are ready to pour in the steam cooker.
- Do not allow the batter to sit for few minutes after adding eno. It does not work really.
- You can substitute it with baking soda. Same quantity works well.
- Whisking for 1 or 2 minutes results into the batter which is lump free. This helps to make dhokla fluffy and spongy.
- After adding Eno fruit salt stir only in one direction.

An innovative recipe with Millet. Anything Dhokla, I would just drool over. I also like the sesame seed tempering, another favorite of mine

Ragi rava dhokla, wowwing here. Adding ragi flour to the usual dhokla makes it more interesting. Best way to sneak ragi in our diet.

I have made ragi idli but never thought of dhokla. Very interesting adaptation.
Chef Mireille

What a lovely twist to the regular dhokla and love the use of whole grain. Great recipe to use ragi in our diet and also the texture looks great!

Rafeeda AR
The dhokla does look really spongy that you wouldn't mind the ragi in it...
Srivalli
I love dhoklas and can have these for any meal. Making it with Ragi surely makes this recipe fantastic and healthy option too.
Usha
Without the garnish, one could easily mistake it for something with chocolate. A good one with ragi, healthy and oilfree.
