Total Time: 20 Minutes
Serves: 2 adults

Ingredients

1 cup besan/gram flour
1 tablespoon Semolina (Rava)
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 teaspoon asafoetida
1 cup of water
1/2 cup yogurt
2 teaspoon Eno (fruit salt)
2 pinches baking soda
Salt to taste

For the seasoning

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 green chilies ( I used dry red chilly as well)
10 curry leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
1/4 cup water
A pinch of salt and sugar

How to make Recipe of Khaman Dhokla

Combine besan, Rava, turmeric powder, asafoetida, yogurt, baking soda, salt, and water. Mix to form a smooth paste. Make sure that there are no lumps in the batter. Add eno right before you add the butter to the pan or thali.
Pour the mixture into a greased 9inch pan or any Indian thali. Steam cook it for 8 minutes. It needs to be cooked like idly. You can also use a bamboo steamer if you don’t have a steamer or pressure cooker. Check for the doneness with a toothpick.
In a clean bowl, mix salt, sugar in water. Add the juice of 1 lemon. Gently warm it in a microwave or over the stovetop.
In a saucepan, heat oil and add mustard seeds to pop. Then add curry leaves, green chilies, and dry red chilly. Pour the above-made water and switch off the flame. Pour this liquid over the cooked dhokla. Cover and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
Once done, cut them into squares, garnish with fresh cilantro and fresh coconut. If you don’t have fresh, moist coconut, you can skip it or add hot water to the desiccated coconut and use it.

Nisha Madhulika Tips

If you use the pressure cooker or steam a lot of the recipes you make at home, I would advise you to install a chimney to prevent black stains from being formed on the kitchen ceiling, besides this a kitchen chimney has other benefits as well that you can read in this article.
