I am not sure where you live. In UK, you can use Andrews or similar fruit salts. Otherwise, most medium sized Indian grocers will stock ENO, because it is used a lot by Gujrati people.

in packet dhokla they use citric acid and sodium bicarbonate. This is a cheat's way, really. You could try yeast (its what the original dhokla/idli recipes use, though from wild yeasts, rather than added baker's yeast).

Please do not use Andrews, it contains a laxative (magnesium sulphate, ~17% !!), and although you may not be affected by it, others might!
