Gujarati Khaman Dhokla
Khaman dhokla is a signature dish of Gujarat. It is basically a sweet and tangy a savory cake made from besan or chickpea flour. This is a snack that can be prepared in about 30 minutes. You can serve dhokla with mint or coriander chutney. For coconut lovers, you can also sprinkle some coconut shavings on top of the khaman dhokla and enjoy it.
Things to remember while preparing Khaman Dhokla
Dhokla can be prepared using Eno salt or baking soda. But if you are using baking soda, do not add turmeric like I did not. This is because baking soda when mixed with turmeric gives reddish spots on your dhokla. Also, your dhokla will have a soapy taste.
But if you are using Eno salt to prepare dhokla you can add about 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric.
If you like your dhokla spicy, you can also add red chilli powder in your dhokla batter.
Do not add a lot of water to the batter else your dhokla will not rise
