Why does my dhokla have red spots? Cause: Dhokla has turmeric which turns red when it interacts with a solution that is basic in PH. If the dhokla has red spots, it indicates that there are pockets of baking soda in the batter that weren’t mixed together properly. Solutions: Mix baking soda with water before adding it into the batter. I added this extra step in my recipe to ensure that the clumps of baking soda are dissolved to reduce the chance of red spots....

What you Need to Make This Recipe Sugar — while you can use either brown sugar or white sugar to make this candy recipe, I use white sugar.

Choosing butter with a high percentage of fat yields more ghee. Butter that has a lower fat percentage has a higher percentage of water. When making ghee, the water is boiled out, so you will be left with a lot less ghee compared to the butter you started with. Organic or grass-fed cows yield a “buttery” and yellow-tinged butter ghee. The more grass a cow eats, the yellower the resulting butter is and the richer the taste!...
