Pumpkin Spice Dhokla brings warm, cosy flavours into a familiar Gujarati dish. The pumpkin purée softens the crumb while the spice blend adds depth without overwhelming the traditional dhokla profile. The tempering soaks in gently, keeping each bite moist and layered with sweet–tangy notes. This version works well as breakfast, a mid-evening snack, or even a savoury option for celebratory menus.
