Dhokla is a vegetarian food item that is found mainly in the Indian state of Gujarat and parts of adjacent states. It is made with a fermented batter derived from rice and split chickpeas.Dhokla can be eaten for breakfast, as a main course, as a side dish, or as a snack. Dhokla is very similar to Khaman, however Dhokla is made of batter derived from rice gram and is white in colour, whereas Khaman is typically made from Chickpeas gram and looks yellow in colour. Khaman has become widely popular outside Gujarat but is misunderstood or incorrectly known as Dhokla. Today I am posting recipe of Red Velvet Dhokla.
