Khaman Dhokla

Tried and tasted by Nivedita

Hi All,

Sometimes, we become lazy or scared or ignorant to try new things in the life. And if the first try is a disaster, we stop trying it for the next time. But, I am not in that category. Once I fail in doing something (when comes to cooking), I give time to myself and then again try to do it. And most of the times, I get success also.

Khaman Dhokla is one of those recipes, which I tried few years back and each time it was a disaster. I stopped eating Dhokla for few months, but could not resist to have it. So I always took ready packet but was not so much happy. 

Now, last week when I was searching for few Gujarati recipes for an event, I came through two recipes which I really wanted to retry. 

First one I tried was Khandvi and again it was a failure. I do not know the reason why I could not get the rolls!!

But again like a king in a story who learnt from a spider, I took a challenge to try Khaman Dhokla.

Voila!!! I got it!!!

The dhoklas were so soft and spongy and tasty, that my whole plate of dhokla was vanished  just in 10 minutes. 

Thanks Chef in You for sharing such a wonderful and easy recipe and for so clear and beautiful pictures.


(Update :Sometimes,NO! NO! NO! Always I am in a hurry. When I got this recipe, I directly went to the ingredients and the method and totally forgot to think about when and why is this prepared. I read it was for ICC but did not think that the recipe for ICC is given by  Srivalli . And Srivalli got it from her aunt. I am sorry for it as I feel everyone including the main person who shared this recipe should get the credit. )

I have followed the exact recipe except adding sesame seeds in the end(I forgot!)
