Khaman is a steamed savory snack originating from the Indian state of Gujarat, known for its soft, spongy texture and vibrant yellow color. Made primarily from gram flour or chickpea flour, it is mixed with water, spices, and a leavening agent like fruit salt to create its characteristic fluffiness. Khaman is usually garnished with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, freshly grated coconut, and chopped coriander, giving it a flavorful punch. High in protein and gluten-free, it is a nutritious option for those seeking a light yet filling dish. Its steaming method of preparation makes it lower in fat compared to fried snacks. However, the addition of sugar and oil in some recipes may increase calorie content slightly. Khaman is loved both as a breakfast dish and a snack, reflecting Gujarat's culinary heritage while offering a wholesome, healthy option for diverse diets.
