Khaman Dhokla Recipe: How To Prepare It At Home In Easy Steps

Methods:

• First of all, take a steamer pan and grease it well with oil.
• In a mixing bowl, take the gram flour.
• In the gram flour, add asafoetida, turmeric powder, ginger paste, lemon juice, sugar, green chilies paste, oil and salt.
• Add water to form a thick batter.
• Now add rava into the batter and stir well.
• Make sure there are lumps within the batter. Add water if required but make sure that the batter isn't runny.
• If the batter becomes thin then add gram flour or add water to make the batter a bit thinner.
• Add eno into the batter and stir quickly to evenly mix the eno into the batter.
• Once you add the eno, you will find that the batter turns out to be bubbly. Therefore, it is quite important to be quick in carrying out the further procedure.
• The batter would froth and become bubbly, so you have to be quick.
• Pour the batter in the greased pan.
• Now boil 1½ cup of water in a steamer or pressure cooker.
• Once the water boils, place the pan in a steamer.
• Place the pan containing batter into the steamer or pressure cooker.
• Steam for 15-17 minutes on a medium-high heat.
• After 15-17 minutes, take out the dhokla and insert a toothpick into it. If the toothpick comes out clean then the khaman dhokla is fully cooked else you need to steam the khaman for some more minutes.
• Once the khaman cools down or becomes lukewarm, slide the edges gently using a knife.
• Invert the khaman dhokla and slice it into small cubes.
• Keep the sliced cubes of khaman dhokla aside.

Tempering

• Take a small tadka pan and heat oil into it. If you don't have a tadka pan, then you can heat the oil in any other small pan.
• Add mustard seeds into the oil and allow them to splutter.
• Once the mustard seeds begin to splutter, add cumin seeds along with curry leaves and chopped green chilies.
• Now add water. While adding the water, make sure you are careful as adding water can make the mixture sizzle.
• Now add sugar, stir and boil the tempering mixture. This will ensure that the sugar dissolves completely into the water.
• Pur the tempering mixture uniformly on the sliced khaman.
• Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut.
• You can serve the khaman dhokla straight away along with chutney or sauce.
• You can also store the khaman dhokla in the refrigerator by keeping the dhokla in a box.
