Description

Dhokla, the ever-popular Gujarati snack, gets an Italian makeover in this recipe. A quick-fix dhokla batter made with semolina, is perked up traditional Italian pesto paste, which is a blend of basil, walnuts and garlic perked up with lemon juice and olive oil. Upon steaming, the dhokla acquires an exotic taste and texture. Do not temper the Pesto Dhokla as it will work against the Italian touch.
