Instant Besan Dhokla is a term used to make a point that it can be made pretty quickly and we are proving it here with our tried and tested recipe.
Khaman or besan Dhokla primarily belongs to Gujrati (a state in India located on western coast) cuisine but is equally famous in North India also. And since we are from Delhi, we are a fan too. As a matter of fact, there are many more different versions like Sandwich Dhokla (Sooji version) or an Idli Dhokla.
The differentiation between various kinds of Dhokla is made first with the presentation style and then with the primary ingredient used. Some people like to use Sooji (Semolina) and others the Besan (Gram flour).
Coming to the device that can be used to steam (mind it, its not bake) the Dhokla, there are many options available ranging from our Indian kitchen’s favorite pressure cooker or the standard Microwave .
Dhokla in Idli steamer gives it the Idli shape and the name too. The process in Idli steamer remains same as we have mentioned in the pressure cooker recipe.
Conventional Oven is primarily used for baking and NOT steaming. Hence, it is not a good idea to make Dhokla in Oven.
We have tried the Oven and the results were not positive. The Dhokla turned out to be a kind of hard rubber in texture.

2 Cup Gram Flour (Besan)
