White Dhokla

Cultural Context

White Dhokla is a popular snack originating from the western Indian state of Gujarat. Traditionally served during festivals and celebrations, it is a steamed savory cake made from fermented gram flour, showcasing the region's love for healthy, vegetarian cuisine. Its light and fluffy texture, combined with a tangy flavor from yogurt and spices, makes it a favorite among many. Today, variations of dhokla can be found across India and in Indian restaurants worldwide, often enjoyed with chutneys or as part of a larger meal.
