Especially in winters when fermentation seems like taking a lot of time or impossible than instant besan dhokla recipe works well. 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.
