Khaman Dhokla is one of my comfort snacks option. I can enjoy it in breakfast or as evening snacks as well. The soft, fluffy and spongy texture wins my heart every time I have it. If you are looking out for some healthy and quick options to have you can definitely add it to the list as it is steamed, therefore, it is healthy and you can eliminate or modify the tempering as per your need. Even if you do not add oil or sugar water you can still enjoy it.
I like to have it with green coriander chutney along with a cup of tea. Sponginess is the main thing to make perfect dhoklas. Therefore, you should air the mixture well by mixing it before adding the fruit salt. If you try out this recipe do share your feedback or pics with me.
