Brown rice Dhokla Recipe

Brown Rice Dhoklas 

Khatta Dhoklas are usually made with the mixture of rice, urad dal and curd. Here I have made with little variation by using brown rice also alongwith the regular basmati rice.  Ratio is 2:1 in which I have made dhoklas. There are different ratio versions also of making it.  

Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Soaking Time : 5-6 hours
Cooking Time : 15 minutes
