Breakfast should ideally be filling , healthy and quick . No one wants to grill in the kitchen early morning .

Suji Dhokla is a light , healthy breakfast option for the whole family . Also a perfect finger food for your toddler , soft and fluffy.

You can prepare the batter at night and just steam in your dhokla/Idli maker in the morning. It requires 30 minutes time atleast for fermentation.
