A good day starts with a good breakfast!!
Dhokla is a fermented food. It is an instant, nutritious, low calorie, protein-rich recipe ideal for breakfast and snack time. Dhokla is a right blend of carbs as well as proteins. The fermentation of the flour enhances its nutritive value. The fermented dal adds to the fibre and protein content of the dish. Microorganisms break down complex compounds making the textures and snack more easily digestible. Research has proven health benefits associated with fermented foods such as the decrease in fat deposition, stimulation of metabolism, normalization of stomach acidity and protection of the stomach as well as the intestine lining.
