Spinach khaman in microwave
Khaman is a vegetarian food that originates from the state of Gujarat. It is made with a fermented batter derived from gram flour can be eaten for breakfast, as a main course, as a side dish, or as a snack.
Here I have added a twist of spinach puree to khaman and it becomes the power house of vitamins and minerals.
