About Khaman dhokla

Khaman Dhokla is a soft, steamed snack originating from the Indian state of Gujarat. Made primarily from fermented chickpea flour (besan) and spices, it is a light, spongy dish known for its tangy and slightly sweet flavor. The batter is traditionally leavened using yogurt and a leavening agent like fruit salt or baking soda. Often garnished with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, and freshly grated coconut, it offers a burst of aroma and flavor. Rich in protein and fiber, Khaman Dhokla is a low-calorie dish, making it a heart-healthy snack option that aids in digestion due to its fermentation process. However, it can be high in sodium, depending on the recipe and seasoning. Steaming instead of frying ensures it is naturally lower in fat, but variations with excess oil or sugar in the tempering can add unnecessary calories.
