Khatta dhokla -A popular steamed and savoury snack made from rice and lentils -a specialty from Gujarat(India)

Khatta dhokla is a traditional and very healthy farsan(snack) of Gujarat but now popular around the world.It is one of the healthy and nutritional dish from Gujarat.

Among the long list of their snacks/farsans –  dhokla tops the list as khaman dhokla is the favourite of almost every one .What a lot of people don’t know is that Dhokla and khaman are two different types of snacks.

Dhoklas are made with rice and lentil batter, whereas khaman are made with gram flour/besan or chana daal batter. Chana daal dhokla is also named as vati daal na khaman. Besan khaman/ Nylon khaman is an instant recipe while for making chana daal dhokla you need preparation.

But the recipe I am sharing today is not the typical Gujrati khatta dhokla  recipe.but a nice and different variation of it,more spicy and flavourful. I learned this from  a dear friend of mine.Addition of mint leaves ,fenugreek seeds,strong asafoetida flavour and raw mango pieces added a nice twist to the usual dhokla Usually tempering is not needed in this dhokla,but I added as a garnish for the clicks:)

      Why it is mentioned in the instructions rice and both the daals.. But in the ingredients it is only mentioned rice and chana daal.. One daal is missing in the ingredients or it is correct.
