Craving dhokla like crazy these days, im in my first trimester. My saas said anything fermented thoda avoid karo but I really want it. Is it actually safe to eat? anyone had it during pregnancy?
Dhokla is steamed so it's generally good, but if you have gestational diabetes like I did, watch the portion size. It's made of besan or suji which can spike blood sugar, so try having it with some green chutney and in limit.
Haan, dhokla is perfectly safe and light on the stomach. It's best to make it ghar pe instead of buying from outside to avoid any stomach infection. Add some simple ginger-chili paste for flavor.
It is absolutely safe to enjoy fresh steamed dhokla. Since it is fermented and steamed, it is actually good for digestion. I know we tend to overthink every food item during this journey, but this is a very safe option.
