Quinoa Oats Dhokla

Monday mornings are typically a blend of busyness and a lingering sense of weekend relaxation. In my quest for a quick breakfast, I recalled having Quinoa batter that I had set aside for fermentation.
I decided to whip up Dhokla using that batter – a delightful combination of Quinoa, oats, and lentils. Every time I prepare this Dhokla, it turns out fantastic—light, fluffy, and just as delightful as our traditional white dhokla. Excited to share the recipe with you today!
