When someone talks about Gujarati cuisine, the first thing that comes to mind is dhokla. Its soft and spongy texture is quite hard to resist and contributes to its popularity. The love for this yummy snack is not just limited to Gujarat but extends to other parts of the country as well. Whenever we make it at home, we make sure to always make some extra. While this ensures that everyone gets their share, it becomes quite problematic when we are left with leftovers. In such a situation, we either keep them on the lower shelf of our fridge and forget about them or let them go to waste. Instead of this, why not transform them into delicious dishes? All you need is a bit of patience and creativity to recreate your leftover dhokla into yummy new dishes. Excited to know how? Read on!
