Idada (or White Dhokla) is a soft, spongy, and mildly spiced Gujarati steamed snack .The softest and spongiest white dhokla or idara is the famous snack from the city of Surat in Gujrat. This dhokla is a little sour in taste due to the fermented batter. A small quantity of sour curd also works at its best. This is an all-time favorite snack there which can be enjoyed at any course. An easy dhokla to make at home
