dhokla recipe | khaman dhokla | how to make instant khaman dhokla with step by step photo and video recipe. gujarati cuisine recipes are known for its vegetarian recipes which are rich and flavorful. however, most of the recipes are limited or made with just besan flour or perhaps mixing with other flour. one such easy and simple snack recipe is khaman dhokla made with fermented batter and served as a side or main dish.
there are many ways and variants of simple khaman dhokla recipe, but this recipe is dedicated to instant version. basically, the traditional dhokla recipe is made with grounding the soaked channa dal which is later allowed to ferment overnight. fermentation step can be time-consuming and requires a lot of planning and preparation in advance. to mitigate this, there are several instant version which is achieved by artificially fermenting. in this recipe, i have used enofruit salt which helps the batter to rise and achieve the same texture and sponginess. i personally like the instant variation as i can prepare it whenever i get the craving for this snack. in most cases, we do not try to attempt the recipes because they are not instant and requires a lot of planning in advance.
furthermore, some easy and important tips and variations for a perfect and spongy instant khaman dhokla recipe. firstly, i have steamed the dhokla in kadaiand boiled water before placing the dhokla batter container. i would recommend the same procedure of preheating for a spongy dhokla. secondly, you can also prepare dhokla in the microwave if you do not have access to a steamer. check my previous post of dhokla recipe in microwave for detailed steps. lastly, i have added eno salt which can be easily replaced with baking soda if you wish to. but i would heavily recommend skipping turmeric as it would react with baking soda to yield a pink colour.
