Sambhar Dhokla

#zaike -Dhoklas are a very popular Gujarati snack that are enjoyed as a light breakfast or as a tea-time snack. As they are steamed, they are a healthy option for young and old alike. Today I gave a twist to the original Dhokla by adding some sambar powder for a South Indian flavour.
