(AI Generated)<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p id=\"0\" class=\"story_para_0\">When it comes to breakfast or a quick and delicious snack for unexpected guests, Khaman Dhokla is often the first dish that comes to mind. Light, fluffy, soft, and incredibly moreish, it\u2019s the kind of recipe that, once tried, becomes a regular in your kitchen. Here is an easy and foolproof halwai-style Khaman Dhokla recipe that anyone can master on the first attempt.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"listOncontentArticleUL\">\n<li>1.5 cups Gram flour (<em>besan<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>1.5 cups Water<\/li>\n<li>2 teaspoons Sugar<\/li>\n<li>1 teaspoon Lemon juice or citric acid<\/li>\n<li>A pinch of Turmeric<\/li>\n<li>Salt to taste<\/li>\n<li>A pinch Asafoetida (<em>hing<\/em>)<\/li>\n<li>3 teaspoons Oil<\/li>\n<li>1 tablespoon Baking soda<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/image-2025-07-305a7d67cd755b293afd523d8bce287c.jpg-2025-08-ca06c24d9debaf4a9db5d8b7ce08bd16.png?impolicy=website&amp;width=0&amp;height=0\" alt=\"\" class=\"lazyload\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Step By Step Recipe<\/h2>\n<h3>Step 1: Prepare the Batter<\/h3>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">In a mixing bowl, take 1.5 cups of water and add sugar, lemon juice, turmeric, salt, and a pinch of asafoetida. Mix everything well. Then add three teaspoons of oil and stir again. Now gradually add the gram flour while whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Sieve the mixture if needed; however, a good whisk usually does the trick. Once mixed, cover the batter and let it rest for 10 minutes. This resting time helps the batter become smooth and improves the final texture of the dhokla.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Get the Steamer Ready<\/h3>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\">While the batter rests, pour three glasses of water into a deep pan or steaming vessel and bring it to a boil. Make sure the steam starts forming properly before you place the batter inside.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Add Baking Soda and Steam<\/h3>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">After 10 minutes, add baking soda to the batter and mix it in quickly. You\u2019ll see the batter rise and light bubbles forming, this is what gives dhokla its signature sponginess. Grease a tin or steel container with oil, pour the batter into it, and place it in the hot steamer. Cover it tightly with a lid and steam for 25 minutes.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Tadka and Serving<\/h3>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\">After 25 minutes, check the dhokla with a toothpick, if it comes out clean, it\u2019s ready. Let it cool for 20\u201330 minutes so it sets well. Meanwhile, prepare a <em>tadka<\/em> (tempering): heat some oil, add mustard seeds, curry leaves, and slit green chillies. Pour this flavourful tadka over the cooled dhokla after cutting it into squares.<\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Now serve it with green chutney or tamarind chutney and enjoy the compliments that follow!<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-1381793064 artcta\">\n<div style=\"font-family:Inter;font-size:17px;line-height:29px\"><span data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\">The News18 Lifestyle section brings you the latest on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/health-and-fitness\/\">health<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/topics\/fashion\/\">fashion<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/travel\/\">travel<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/food\/\">food<\/a>, and culture \u2014 with wellness tips, celebrity style, travel inspiration, and recipes. <\/span>Also Download the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/eng-article-eop\">News18 App<\/a>\u00a0to stay updated!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-1381793064 coral-count-custom\">view comments<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-1cb0ad73008388e4 jsx-1381793064 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/lifestyle\/\">lifestyle<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Khaman Dhokla Recipe: Quick And Easy Way To Make Soft, Fluffy Dhokla At Home<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc \">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-9278cad478d6a6dc coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
