Khaman dhokla recipe – A popular Gujarati snack recipe
The past two weeks went very busy as the kids are at home on vacation. Finally today school reopened and I had time to post one of my favorite snacks. I have tried this a few times and this time I thought of blogging this. I learnt this from here, but she gave me the recipe for suji dhokla, but I replace it with besan, since I love this khaman dhokla. Check out my Gujarathi Khandvi recipe and khatta dhokla.

Instructions
- In a wide vessel, add the besan, curd, green chili paste, turmeric powder, salt, sugar, and lemon juice, and mix well without any lumps.

- Cover it with a lid and keep it aside for 1/2 an hour to 1 hour.
- I kept it for an hour.
- After an hour, grease a wide-mouthed kadai with little oil.
- Transfer the mixture to it.
- Just add the ENO FRUIT SALT.
- Mix well.
- Keep the steamer hot before adding any salt to it.
- The consistency will be like idli batter.
- Normally after adding Eno salt the mixture will slightly loosen.
- If u find it very thick, can add 1 or 2 tbsp of water.
- Steam this mixture for 10 –12 minutes.
- Check whether it is completely cooked, by inserting a knife or fork into the vessel.

Notes
- After adding the eno fruit salt, immediately transfer and steam the mixture, or else it will taste nice.
- If making in big batches, add the eno fruit salt in batches.
- Ensure the eno fruit salt is active, if not the batter won't be airy and dhoklas will be hard.

Is there an option to do it without eno salt? i dont get it in my area…
You can add baking (cooking)soda to this . But do not add more than 1/2 tsp.

can you suggest a substitute for eno?
You can add 2 pinches of baking soda but it won't turn out that soft as eno
Hi mam!! Drool worthy dhoklas!!! Is it necessary for 1 hr standing time? Can it be mixed immediately?
