Gujarati Khaman Dhokla Recipe

• To make khaman dhokla, first of all strain the gram flour into a big bowl with a strainer so that the thick granules will get left behind and you'll get a smooth and fluffy batter. 
• Now add salt,   citric acid ( lemon juice ) , fine chopped ginger, and fine chopped green chilies. 
• Then add powdered sugar and 2 pinches asafoetida into the bowl. 
• Mix all these ingredients properly and then add little water step by step and make a thick batter with it. Don't add the water directly otherwise it will create lumps in your batter. Add it little step by step and mix it with a spoon. 
• Whisk it in one direction with your hand for at least 10 to 15 minutes. 
• Add 2 tsp oil and mix well. 
• This work of whisking is the only hard work you have to do for making the dhokla. 
• After whisking it continuously for 10 minutes, keep it for rest for at least 25 to 30 minutes.

• After 30 minutes of complete rest add 2 tsp baking soda into it and whisk it again thoroughly only for seconds. 
• Now without wasting any time add this batter into a container in which you want to make your dhokla. 
• Take a big bowl and boil some water in it. 
• Make sure that it can sustain your container.
• Put a stand into the bowl. 
• Now put this container over the stand. 
• Put the gas on medium flame and cover the lid gently. 
• Cook it for at least 20 to 25 minutes at medium flame. 
• After getting 25 minutes put off the gas flame and let it rest for 5 minutes. 
• Don't open the lid for five minutes and it will give you more better results.

FOR TEMPERING

• Now your dhokla is ready but it is incomplete without a tempering ( tadka )  over it. 
• So for making a tempering heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. 
• Add mustard seeds and let it crackle. 
• Add some slit green chilies, curry leaves 
• Add 1 cup of water into it. It will produce some sizzling sound. 
• Now after adding water add some sugar and 2 tsp of lemon juice. 
• Put off the gas flame and let it get lukewarm. 
• Add this lukewarm tempering over your dhokla and enjoy your day. 
• Your dhokla is ready. Garnish it with some fine chopped fresh leaves and some type of dips and chutneys.
