Khaman Dhokla is a famous snack from Gujarat, India. It is spongy and delicious snack which can be served even as a breakfast or a starter for a tea time party. I totally love dhoklas and relish them with green chutney and some sweet tamarind chutney.

Khaman dhokla is like having a savory cake which needs no baking 🙂 .. So, sharing another snack recipe and hope you all have a great day. Serve it with some green chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. Green chutney – click here for recipe

    It's amazing that these ingredients could make something that looks like a sponge cake. I wouldn't be able to purchase the ingredients, much as I'd like to try the recipe.

    Hi! I saw your post on the Facebook UBC Challenge. Oh your dhokla looks amazing! I can't wait to try making it. I love cooking and eating great things too. I recently moved from the United States to the South of France and have really enjoyed getting fresh ingredients from the local markets. You can see the local markets I have visited in my blog here http://masabicou.com/category/markets/ Thank you so much! Jina
