Khaman (Khamman) Gujarati Appetizer

[mskhan6699]

could u pls show recipes made of fruits.

[aisakaykure]

Hello ladies, thank you for this great recipe. My son and I loved it and once i make it we cannot stop eating till it is all finished. Since the first time i made it my son keeps asking me to make it regularly. I have a question though, when you say 1 cup of chana dal is it approximately 1.5-2 dl? It would be great to have an exact measurement. Thanks for your video clips they are very well done and the recipes are great. Keep up the good work.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aisakaykure : Pardon our ignorance, but what is 'dl'?

[aisakaykure]

@ShowMeTheCurry

DL or dl is the short form for deciliter.1 dl = 10 cl = 100 ml (for liquids)

For solids for example, 1dl sugar is approximately 65 gram if i am not mistaken. I live in Sweden and the recipes almost always use dl.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aisakaykure: I thought as much but did want to clarify - it is not a measurement we use here. 1 cup of Channa Dal is approx 200-210gm. I hope you can convert it :)

covering the lid with towel is great tip. I made khaman so many times but water drips from the lid on the khaman and make them soggy. i tied a cheese cloth and it was wonderful. my khaman turned out dry and fluffier. thanks for the tip!

[shahrukhdiwani1]

This was the recipe I was looking for, I think this is the best recipe of khaman on You Tube so far, you girls are doing a great job. I love all your recipes and like the way you use less oil and make it healthy. I want to make khaman for my diwali party of 30 guests, do I just double/triple the quantity and can I make this one day before and temper it on the day of the party? What would be on your diwali menu? Just need some ideas:) Do not know what to cook this year.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shahrukhdiwani1 : Yes, you can double and triple this recipe and it works well to make a big batch of it. Seasoning on the day of serving/party is the best as it gives the dish (khamman) a fresh flavor and can we say anything less about the aroma that is going to fill your kitchen ?

[shahrukhdiwani1]

@ShowMeTheCurry Thanks for your reply. Happy Diwali to you both and your families.

What is the reason for stirring batter in only one direction when adding the baking soda?

[DiscoverIndia2010]

Perfecto..... U explained it real nicely .. Earlier i tried so many time never came so fluffy ... .. Just followed ur each step..CAME OUT REAL WELLL..Great explaination to every step

[DiscoverIndia2010]

at what stage do u add salt & sugar ( if need be ) ???

[63sushma]

I have to say THE best khaman recipe ever :)

I am 17 and this is the first time I have ever cooked something all by MYSELF and the Khamans tuned out to be so delicious you just can't get enough of them. <3 your channel and these recipes. Thanks :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@63sushma : Very happy for you and you should be so proud of yourself :)

[63sushma]

@ShowMeTheCurry I wouldn't have been able to do this by myself.. you guys are just amazing :)

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@63sushma :)

[MsFatafati]

cilantro & curry leaves are different?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@MsFatafati

Cilantro is coriander leaves.  Curry leaves are also called kadi patta.

[MsFatafati]

thank you! didnt know before.thank you once again 4 your immediate response.

[vinzash]

is there any other substitute for baking soda....i have eno... can i add that instead of baking soda???

thank u

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@vinzash

Yes. ENO is just 60% baking soda and 40% citric acid. You will need more ENO than what the recipe says. Be sure to adjust the lime juice.

[iroc31407]

can i add sugar to get a little sweetness in it?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@iroc31407 : The sweetness comes from the syrup - you can add additional sugar if you like.

[SuperXyzz]

[Princess123style]

hey Hi Hetal , hi Anuja.... i loveeeed it... it is too gud , too tasty... thanx for sharing this recepi.... keep doin gud job

[yaniv191983]

nothing more joyful than watch a project start, grow and become this big. the changes as you grow, orkut and now facebook presence...and finally being featured on a tv channel. the best part of it all being that this albeit a journey, is just a start. I am sure you'll go a long long way.

its amazing what sincere dedication can do for you.

Cooking with more than a pinch of fun ! All the best for your future.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@yaniv191983

Thanks so much for kind words and support! We still have a ways to go but we'll keep our fingers crossed.

[MackerelCat]

Haha! Anuja I love your expression at 2.49!!!!

[zairt]

thanks a lot for the recipe.....def going to try that..shukriya

[gk891]

I really like this dish with cabbage sambharo. That might sound odd to some people but I find that the flavours go nicely together. What's funny is that it took me a long time to warm up to Gujarati food but I now find it to be absolutely addictive. I think part of it is the lemon juice and yogurt along with green chili peppers (the tangy sourness combined with the spicy heat makes Gujarati food really distinctive). Nice job with this vid.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@gk891 : Not odd at all! We can make a lot of other "odd-er" combination which make your choice very sane. Enjoy :)

[anwarkasi]

Hetal, you look so lovely in this video! :)

[Manjulasbiggestfan]

Hi guys, oke you won me back. Great recipe. I made it today...started yesterday and my Punjabi hubby LOVES IT...I served it with hari chutney and it just was the BEST..he ate so much he couldnt eat the dinner that i made...was wonderful....This is the kinds of recipes I really need.....SO NUTRITIOUS TOO! love it love it..please post more and more like this...thank you so much from Toronto.

[neil2090]

What is the difference between a blender and a food processer

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@neil2090 : Blender can grind into a smooth paste whereas Food Processor will only chop (coarse) the food.

[lakshmihv]

I just love you guys!!! you are so cute!!

[Girl4God2]

Yum! Looks really good! But wow, that;s a LOT of salt in that khaman. I would think it would taste way too salty.

[Scorpeomajor]

i saw the picture and i instintly thought, "Must Click" plus you guys are so awesome and nice and funny. Me and my mom sometimes just sit in front of the computer and hold a bowl, and chopsticks (cause we're asian) and pretend that we are eating what ever you make. Haha. u guys are awesome! stay that way!

[Kaboose786]

to be u ladies rock my world wid these videos .... kudos

[virson73]

Why mix the baking soda in one direction only?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@virson73 : We stir in one direction so that the bubbles created by the baking soda do not get disturbedit ensures a spongy khaman.

[virson73]

Why mix the baking soda in one direction only?

[aplimanasa]

Awesome..recipe A & H. I have always used the ready khaman packet. Im gonna try this out now.

Also I had a question. As u guys do a lot of cooking, could you suggest any good blenders/foodpros for Idli, Dosa batter. I had the hamilton Beach blender which died on me twice...So two blenders in one yr is a bit much!! Im sure Anuja must ba makin a lot of South Indian stuff.. What do u use?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aplimanasa : I use an Ultra for my regular use but do not show that because it's not something everyone has :( But if you are planning on making idlis and dosas on a regular basis, I suggest you invest in one...I love mine :)

But when it's a small amount, I do use my blender - it's a Cusinart and it's about 7 years old and still (knock on wood) going strong!

Food Processors do not work for dosas and idlis!

[mePriyankaDolly]

can u show the recipe for puran podi, dosa and idli with all the side dishes?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mePriyankaDolly : We have an Idli video and Dosa & Puran Poli is on our list.

Check out our website to see the Idli video.

[titatitu]

[briggybear]

[shirasteinar]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@shirasteinar : We do have a videos on different types of daals, spices & grains.

Look for "stocking you pantry for Indian cooking" part 1 and 2

Hope that helps :)

[shirasteinar]
