Khaman Dhokla is a light, fluffy, and savory steamed cake made from gram flour (besan), popular in Gujarati cuisine. It’s known for its spongy texture and mildly tangy, sweet taste, often served as a snack or breakfast item. Tempered with mustard seeds, green chilies, and curry leaves, and garnished with fresh coriander and coconut, it’s a delightfully healthy and quick dish. Served with green chutney or sweet tamarind chutney, Khaman Dhokla is a vegetarian favorite, both nutritious and easy to digest. Perfect for festive platters, tiffins, or light meals.
