Khaman Dhokla Recipe

Khaman Dhokla – Very delicious and juicy Gujarati dish.

In my college days I tried many a times to get that perfect fluffy juicy Dholka. After a couple of trials I am now good at baking dhokla and my family also loves the one I cook.

I am sharing this wonderful recipe with you. Made with fermented gram flour, khaman dhokla is quite healthy. Khaman dhokla can be taken in breakfast or as evening snack.

It can be served with green coriander cutney. Khaman dhokla is usually made with curd, but here I have not used curd at all.
