Oats Semolina Dhokla

#cookingwithoats - Dhokla is a healthy and nutritious steamed Gujarati savoury snack usually made of besan (gram flour) and sometimes with sooji (semolina). So today I tried with oats for some variation and it turned out very yummy. This is an instant version and I added some semolina to it too. It can be served with any homemade chutney. But it goes especially well with green chutney. They can also be relished for breakfast, can be packed as a lunch box meal or had as a tea-time snack.
