FAQs 

1. What is Khaman Dhokla

Khaman Dhokla is a popular Gujarati steamed snack made from gram flour (besan). It is soft, spongy, and mildly sweet-sour, often tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and garnished with grated coconut and coriander.

2. How is Khaman different from regular Dhokla

• Khaman is made from gram flour (besan) and has a softer, spongier texture.

• Regular Dhokla (like Rava Dhokla or Khatta Dhokla) is made from semolina (sooji) or fermented rice-lentil batter.

3. What are the key ingredients for Khaman Dhokla

• Gram flour (besan)

• Citric acid (or lemon juice) & sugar

• Eno fruit salt (or baking soda)

• Turmeric (for color)

• Tempering (mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chilies, sesame seeds)

4. Can I make Khaman without Eno

Yes, you can use baking soda (½ tsp) instead of Eno, but Eno gives better fluffiness.

5. Why is my Khaman Dhokla not fluffy

Possible reasons:

• Too much water in the batter (should be thick).

• Eno/baking soda not fresh.

• Over-steaming or under-steaming.

6. How do I store leftover Khaman

• Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 1-2 days.

• Reheat in a steamer or microwave with a sprinkle of water
