Why does my Dhokla turn red in color? by DK on Oct 9, 2013

Substitute for Eno fruit salt in dhoklas At times you might notice your dhoklas with red patches. This is probably caused by a reaction between baking soda and turmeric. In that case, just use only a little amount - say a pinch, to avoid this reaction.

can the dhoklas be eaten if it has turned red due to baking soda and turmeric reaction.

I actually have no idea. But personally speaking, I don't see why it should cause a problem since its just turmeric and Baking soda causing that reaction.--DK
