Always use fresh ingredients, especially besan and baking soda. This will help you get a fluffy, spongy texture. Check the expiry date before use.

Make sure the batter is smooth, lump-free, and not too thick or too runny. This will make the batter rise easily and ensure even steaming.

Add baking soda into the batter right before pouring it into the steamer. This will ensure a good rise and spongy texture without flattening the batter.

Medium gas heat will ensure even cooking without over-drying. Too high or too low can make dhoklas soggy or dense.

Let the dhokla rest for a few minutes after steaming. This prevents it from breaking apart and keeps it soft and spongy while slicing.
