Dhoklas are a staple food in Gujarati cuisine. Though it is very popular among not just the people of Gujarati, but people all over India.

Dhokla has a soft, fluffy, and sponge-like texture. It is of salty and a little spicy in taste. Yet, adding ground corn kernels into it will add natural sweetness in the dish. Some people even soak it in sugar syrup to make a sweet version of the same dish.
