Description

Khaman Dhokla or Besan Dhokla is a popular savory snack from Gujarati cuisine. It is light, soft, spongy and delicious steamed savory cake, made of gram flour and tempered with spices on it. This Dhokla preparation takes a little bit time but ready in 20 minutes. It is a perfect breakfast as well as a tea time snack recipe.


Ingredients

Scale

For Dhokla Batter –

  • 2 cups gram flour (besan)
  • 1 cup yogurt (dahi)
  • 1 green chili chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup water or as required

For Tadka or Tempering –

  • 1½ teaspoons oil
  • 1 teaspoon small mustard seeds (rai)
  • ¼ teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
  • 1 tablespoon grated coconut (optional)

For greasing –

  • ½ teaspoon oil

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add gram flour (besan) and yogurt (dahi). Combine well.
  • Add a cup of water slowly as needed to make a semi thick or smooth consistency batter.
  • Give a quick mix.
  • Cover the bowl and keep it aside for 4 to 5 hours for fermentation.
  • Once the batter has fermented, add salt, sugar, chopped coriander leaves, chopped green chili and mix well. If the batter is too thick then add water to bring a smooth and flowing consistency.
  • Meanwhile, grease a 6″ square cake tin with oil and keep aside.
  • Also put the water to boil in a steamer.
  • Now add the baking soda to the batter. Mix it in one direction for approx. one minute.
  • Immediately pour the batter into the greased tin.
  • Place the tin in steamer and steam for 20 minutes over medium flame.
  • To check, insert a knife or a toothpick into the dhokla. If it comes out clean, then it is ready. If not then cook for 2-3 minutes more.
  • Take out the tin from steamer and let it cool at room temperature for few minutes.

For Tadka or Tempering

  • In a small tadka pan, heat oil. Once hot, add mustard seeds. When it starts crackle, add asafetida.
  • Turn off the flame.
  • Pour the tadka evenly over the prepared dhoklas.
  • Cut the dhokla into square pieces.
  • Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut and serve with green chutney.

Notes

  • For making the batter, it is important to filter gram flour with a strainer nicely.
  • For soft and spongy Dhokla, make sure to whisk the batter well before adding baking soda.
  • Never keep the dhokla batter for too long after adding the baking soda. Immediately place it into the steamer.
  • Additionally, adding sugar to the batter is optional.
