Microwave Khaman Dhokla:
Khaman Dhokla is a traditional Gujarati savory Snack which is steamed and the dal batter is made from bengal gram flour or Besan infused with a sugar-lime juice solution to give it that authentic street taste and it is tempered with a mustard seeds, curry leaves and little flavored oil. Out of the many varieties of dhokla, Besan dhokla is the easiest to prepare at home and it tastes simply great. I made this dhokla in Microwave .It comes out soft and it tastes simply great. In our home everyone loves dhoklas. Instant microwave dhokla is really an instant and delicious snack.
