About the Product

Guru Foods Instant Dhokla Premix is specially developed for preparing soft, light and spongy Gujarati-style Dhokla with minimal preparation effort.

Traditional dhokla preparation can involve measuring multiple ingredients, preparing batter, managing acidity and leavening, and in some recipes allowing the batter to ferment. The instant premix format helps simplify these preparation steps.

Simply mix the recommended quantity of premix with water according to the instructions on the pack, prepare a smooth batter and pour it into a greased steaming tray.

Steam until properly cooked, then finish with a traditional-style mustard seed and curry leaf tempering.

The premix helps maintain consistent taste, rise, softness, porosity and texture from batch to batch.

Ingredients

A typical Instant Dhokla Premix may contain:

Gram Flour (Besan), Salt, Sugar, Spices & Condiments, Raising/Leavening Agents and other suitable ingredients.

Depending on the actual formulation, it may also contain ingredients such as Rice Flour, Semolina, Citric Acid/Acidity Regulator, Ginger, Green Chilli or other suitable seasonings and permitted food additives.

The final ingredient declaration must always correspond with the actual formulation and approved product packaging.

Any raising agents, acidity regulators, anti-caking agents or other food additives should only be declared when actually present.

Commercial Use

Guru Foods Instant Dhokla Premix provides professional kitchens with a convenient solution for preparing consistent Gujarati-style Dhokla in larger quantities.

It is particularly suitable for restaurants, hotels, breakfast buffets, caterers, banquet kitchens, canteens, cloud kitchens and institutional food-service operations.

The premix helps simplify ingredient measurement and batter preparation while helping maintain consistent rise, softness, porosity, flavour and appearance.

For commercial preparation, standardise the premix-to-water ratio, portion quantity, tray depth and steaming time for every batch.

Important Information

Prepare the batter using the recommended quantity of water specified on the approved product pack.

For instant leavened formulations, once the batter is ready, avoid unnecessary delays before steaming, as this may affect the rise and spongy texture.

Avoid excessive mixing after the leavening system has been activated, where applicable.

Steam until properly cooked, but avoid excessive steaming as it may affect softness.

The actual ingredients, preparation ratio, resting requirements, steaming time, allergen declaration, nutritional information, shelf life, storage conditions and statutory information displayed on the website should always match the information printed on the approved product packaging.
