Khaman dhokla is a savory steamed cake made from gram flour or chana dal (skinned split bengal gram). khaman dhokla are soft, porous, mild tangy-sweet and a great snack anytime of the day. I tried it for the first time and the result was very good. People used to make this in a steamer or a pressure cooker. I tried in Microwave and it was easy and faster to make.

Method for Dhokla Batter :
1) In a big bowl , add gram
flour, 1 tbs oil, water, semolina, ginger and chilli paste, turmeric , hing, salt, lemon juice. Add
water and mix well and keep aside for 20-15 mins. It should have a smoothie consistency.
2) After 20 mins, add eno
and mix well again. Eno will help you to risen the batter and make it light and
smooth. You will see the bubble in the pic as well. This helps to make the dhokla fluffy. Transfer it into the microwave bowl. I have used silicon mould.
3) Microwave for 5-6 min.
It will be like a cake and check if its cooked. Put a knife in the mix and see
of the knife comes clean. Let it cool down, This is ready. It will look like this after you remove from the mould / microwave bowl. Now this is ready for tadka.
For the tadka,
1) In a pan add oil and
once hot add little hing, mustard seeds, curry leaves and let it cook.
Add sugar and half cup
water. Let it boil and pour this on the dhokla cake.Garnish with fresh coriander. Cut and serve.
