If you have left over dosa batter, why not make dhokla out of it! I had some left over Brown Rice Dosa batter left over and after making every variation of the dosa batter- still had a little left over.

I had been experimenting with Instant khaman Dhokla for some time and finally nailed the recipe. The white dhokla,also called Khatta dhokla, is made with rice and Urad dal. Since I had dosa batter which is also made of the same ingredients, I decided to try and use the dosa batter.

Even though the dosa batter is fermented, the addition of Eno made the dhokla very soft. The chatni in the middle provides color and flavor and overall the dhokla with its three layers looks impressive. You can use any type of dosa batter, Plain, Brown Rice, Quinoa or Daliya Dosa.

Enjoy it for breakfast, as an appetizer or as an anytime snack with tea.
