Simple trick to a fluffy dhokla is that beat the batter well. The more you beat the batter; more air is incorporated in the batter, resulting in soft-spongy dhokla’s. Just remember to beat the batter before adding soda.
After adding baking soda, don’t let the batter sit for a long while. Steam it right away.
Steam for 10-15 minutes only don’t over cook or else the dhokla’s would become hard and dry.
