What it is
Sandwich Dhokla is a popular Indian snack made from a fermented batter of rice and lentils. This version is prepared in a layered style, often featuring a savory filling between two layers of the steamed dhokla cake. It offers a delightful combination of soft, spongy texture and a slightly tangy flavor profile. The preparation typically involves steaming, which results in a light and airy food. It is a convenient option for a quick meal or snack.
How people cook with it
This product is ready to be heated and enjoyed as a flavorful snack or light meal. It can also be incorporated into other dishes.
- Serve as a standalone snack.
- Pair with chutney.
- Cut into cubes for chaat.
- Add to a bento box.
To prepare, simply remove the dhokla from its packaging. It can be heated in a microwave for a few minutes until warm throughout. Alternatively, it can be gently pan-fried in a little oil until golden brown and heated through. For a more elaborate dish, the dhokla can be cut into bite-sized pieces and tossed with yogurt, tamarind chutney, and spices to create a popular street food known as dhokla chaat. It is best served warm for optimal texture and flavor.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional dhokla which is often a single layer, sandwich dhokla features distinct layers, usually with a filling. This layering adds an extra dimension of flavor and texture. The batter fermentation process contributes to its characteristic tanginess, setting it apart from non-fermented savory cakes.
