📌Let me know you first that what is CHIBA ?
Chiba is kutchi language word means - a lid / plate, which is a flat round used primarily as a tight-fitting cover lid for deep cooking pot, pan, kadai, bowl etc...

📌Chiba Dhokli (also spelled Chhiba Dhokli) is a traditional, healthy, and nearly *VISRATI VANGI* -- forgotten or lost recipe of Gujarati snack originating from the Kutch region.

📌Made primarily from gram flour (besan), it is similar in taste to *KHANDVI* , but features a fascinating, gravity-defying steaming technique.

📌 Instead of being cooked inside a steamer, a thick batter is spread onto a steel plate, which is then flipped completely upside down and placed over a pot of boiling water. The steam cooks the batter directly without it dropping into the water.

#Manisha_PureVeg_Treasure #LoveToCook_ServeWithLoveis my introduction as a home chef.At the age of 10, I started my cooking journey with my mother's guidance. My cooking guru is my Maa - Mrs. Madhuri Dhanraj Bhatia. She was a master home chef, running a small business of food items like daily meal tiffin, traveling food packs, seasonal pickles, papad, chips, fryums, etc. So I learned a lot from her. At the age of 18, I got married to a huge joint family and started my new journey. My family loves my dishes and appreciates me. Especially my husband and my son. So, day by day, I improved myself, and today, cooking is my hobby, my passion. My husband, Mr. Kamal Sampat always supports and motivates me. All credits goes to my mother and my husband.I joined Cookpad in September 2018.Till today sharing my recipes. I am happy to join Cookpad, to learn and share more and many more. ❤️👍👌💐
