Instant Khaman

[Rhythm555beats]

can WE make dhokla in oven like cake.....i mean than 2 put that batter in oven instead of steamer

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Rhythm555beats

Yes, you can but you have to follow little different procedure here. Here is what I normally do, Preheat oven to 425F. Pour batter in tray, cover the tray with foil and place the tray on top or middle rack. Take another tray, fill with water and place on the bottom rack of the oven. Bake for about 12-15min or till done. Hope this helps.

[Rhythm555beats]

@SuperVeggieDelight thanks di

@Rhythm555beats

HI

You most welcome anytime...

[Nammmunam]

Hi just want to know can we have subsituesnt for citric acid like Lemon or some thing. I am not getting that pwoder u used in this. PLease help me I seriously want to prepare it.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Nammmunam

HI

Did you try to find at indian grocers? If you have ENO, you can leave out cirtric acid. I heard that when lime juice is added, khaman comes out flat. So if you want to try, try with small amount of batter and see if that works for you. Or try with soury yogurt.

[zvidhi]

Hi i made this kaman recipe today but they came out flat...can u suggest what could have gone wrong??

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@zvidhi

HI

If you follow exact recipe, can't go wrong but if you have tried to be short on any ingredient or tried to do it even little different way, it might happen. Sometimes, temperature of the steamer also matters. So it is hard to tell. Please watch video couple of times before making so in case, you might have missed something might take care next time when you prepare....

[guppydas]

In case if I have not commented on this recipe, here it goes. Simply superb. I experimented with some other flavouring. Like once adding some garam masala, another time, I had the red chilli and garlic paste, the Maharashtrian style. It was fun. Thank you for such beautiful simple recipes and straight instructions. Funtastic.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@guppydas

Wow! Very glad to have you on this channel....keep sharing more and we all will have lots of fun cooking for our families...thanx again.

[rckrj143]

recipe is good, but you are very very very beautiful. ur husband is really lucky

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@rckrj143

Hi

Thanx. I will let my hubby know and he will laugh probably..

[rckrj143]

@SuperVeggieDelight Sure, actually he will proud. I have seen some of ur more videos. sorry not for ur recipes, but to see speaking you. Lovely.

[mattshutube]

I love that.... Just wondering whether I can substitute basin with Wheat!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@mattshutube

Hi

I haven't tried with wheat but one user tried it and said they were good even with wheat...so you can give it a try in small amount.

[shyamksharma]

I really wish that Gujarati dishes were free of CHEMICALS.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@shyamksharma

well, it's up to you...you can leave it out...

[Desi4evah]

@shyamksharma What chemicals?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Desi4evah

I guess he/she considering ENO chemical but for me it is great remedy for stomach.

[Desi4evah]

@SuperVeggieDelight Yeah, no kidding. Eno rocks!

[guppydas]

Super Easy. WoW I am gonna have this twice a week. Thanks Bhavna for such brilliant and yet simple recipe. 

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@guppydas

Hi

You most welcome....enjoyo!

[vag0775]

Hi Bhavna I always learn the recipes from your video u r fantastic and neat looking cook, anyway is it possible to use lemon/lime juice instead of citric acid and how much juice, as I am against citric acid, thanks

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@vag0775

Hi

I did try one time with lemon/lime juice but Khaman came out flat I guess you have to add soda as welll...

[srichinnnnnnnn]

for what purpose we add eno?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@srichinnnnnnnn

For fluffy texture...

[yapi85]

Hi Bhavana, I have seen other Dhokla videos. Some people cut the dhokla into pieces before the tarka. Also, another lady said not to steam the dhokla more than 7 minutes. Can you please comment on these issues. Also, you mentioned Nylon Khaman. Is there any special besan flour for this? reply will be appreciated. BTW, your dhokla looks marvelous. Yummy!!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@yapi85

Hi

It's really your preference whether you want to add tadka before cutting or after cutting, it doesn't make any difference. Steaming time may vary depending on thickness of your khaman/dhokla, meaning if you fill tray with more batter, you have to steam at least 12-15 minutes on ceramic stove but if you have gas stove, it might take less time so you have to keep an eye on it.. I usually prefer steaming at high temperature for best result. In India special besan is used but

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@yapi85

it's ok to use besan available in your pantry...enjoy!

[Cherryredsparkle]

Can I use soda bicarb instead of Eno?

Oh, and I think you have a cute mixed accent :) Where in India are you from?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Cherryredsparkle

Hi

I am from Gujrat...and you can use soda but texture will be different...

[oogp]

I love that add where that guy wins a million dollars for playing a baseball game. wins by pitching a perfect game. ha

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@oogp

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@asianlite6

Hi

[asianlite6]

Hi bhavna today i tried your recipe with whole wheat flour and fine wheat rava...dhokla came out very nice...ty..:)

[SuperVeggieDelight]

[MrParmar23]

hi bhavna,, m grt fan of ur receipe,,, can u pls show me how to make tuti fruity?? i think we can make frm papaya but dnt know how to make,, so m waiting for ur next recipe,, thnks

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@MrParmar23

Hi

will try...

[aaa3799]

Hi Bhavna,

Can i skip citric acid or add baking soda instead?

thanks.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@aaa3799

HI

Citric acid is used to bring souryness and baking soda as leavening agent...two different functionality....

[MrParmar23]

hi bhavna,, m grt fan of ur receipe,,, can u pls show me how to make tuti fruity?? thnks

[ahamatmabrahman]

Maybe you could just pop all those ingredients into a blender to speed things up even more

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@ahamatmabrahman

HI

You can try but overblending may also result in flat khaman and not fluffy, with hand, it doesn't take much of your time so it's not going to make any difference....enjoy!

[SIM9900]

@SuperVeggieDelight

Hi Bhavna,

Can I use Baking powder and Soda instead of Eno....If yes then how much........Thanks a lot.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@SIM9900

HI

Just use pinch of soda or powder not both...most likely soda will work better than powder with souryness of yogurt or citric acid...

[SIM9900]

@SuperVeggieDelight

Thank you Bhavana, but still next time when I will go for shopping, I will surely buy ENO...Thanks a lot.

[SIM9900]

@SuperVeggieDelight

Thank you Bhavan........But I think it is better to keep ENO in my kitchen..Thanks a lot.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@SIM9900

HI

Yes, for my kitchen it is one of the necessity. And if you are not using much, keep ENO in referigerator for longer use...enjoy!

[Nirvana87]

[lovecartoons1]

Hello thanx for this recipe it turned out to be super fluffy but the taste of only besan dominated the dhokla.what do u think is wrong ?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@lovecartoons1

HI

If you feel that, add more Rava and also don't forget to spice it up and steam your khaman very well.

[longhairedlibra]

Where can you find a steamer like you have? I have been scouring the internet trying to find and can't seem to find ANYTHING remotely like this.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@longhairedlibra

Hi

My steamer is about 15 years old now...obviously won't be able to find like mine...but there are many fancy steamers out ther these days...just buy one of those. If you can't find, just use any kind of tray which fit in a big pot. You don't have to have something special...if you have more questtions, please feel free to ask.

[sudhanshupcy]

Hi Bhavna, I am Aditi living in AZ. I was looking for some khaman receipes, and just came across your video. I tried it out immediately and believe me it was great.

[minrava2011]

Hi Bhavana , I tried this recipe on yesterday { sunday evening} and it turn out" GREAT" I haveno words to describe it really spongy . my Sasuma told me that it's just like a {Das Na Khaman} very famous name in Ahmedabad Gujarat.

so thanks a lot.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@minrava2011

Hi

Glad to hear that. Das na khaman has many other flavorful khaman which I am trying to work on. Enjoy!

[marivien1]

Bhavna my Khaman is great. So proud of the outcome, following your exact instructions and proportions of ingredients. Thanks so much and more recipes to come.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

Hi

Glad to hear this. Thanx for coming back to share. Keep making and enjoying.

[kewl004]

Hey Bhavna, Thank you for this instant khaman receipe. It sure looks good, and i am about to make it. I was just wondering just like putting khaman in steamer, can you bake cake like that too? LOL just asking... hehehhe

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@kewl004

Hi

I do khichiya papad lot and handvo in oven but haven't tried khaman yet. If I try will sure share. Usually when I steam my khichiya lot in oven, i put big tray filled with water at bottom and on the top tray with khichiya papad(cover with foil and make some holes) and at high temperature about 500F. And you can also watch one of my khichiya papad start to finish videos where I shared this technique. Enjoy!

[mericooking]

Hi Bhavna....I want to make this khaman as the other recipe I tried didnt turn out well at ALL. I dnt have a steamer but I have a covered electric pot. Can u please tell me how much the "TEMPERATURE" in it should be or how hot the water should be if I make in that and the exact t "TIME" I keep it in the pot for. Thanks. Enjoy your day.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@mericooking

Hi

I have never made in other than steamer. I keep temperature on high and water should be hot when you place the plate in. YOu can also keep the plate in while water is boiling and when water is hot enough, pour batter into the plate and cover the pot. Now I have no idea how much time it will take since I have never tried with other pots, specially electric pot. And that might be the reason khaman not coming out well with even othe recipes.

[kinjal272]

HI !Bhavana,

I tried this dhokla recipe with the exact measurements of flours you mentioned and I must say they turned out to be very very nice. the taste was very very nice and I will now make this this frequently as i am confident of attempting it foolproof. All thanks to you and I pass all the praises my husband showered on me for his favorite dhokla to you

[gsupraja]

i made this recipe but i dont know what happen it was undercooked i instered knife it came out clean and i cooke for 20 min in medium heat i didnt add cirtic acid rest if followed ur recipe.can u pls tell me what was the mistake

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@gsupraja

Hi

Always steam on high temperature. If you steam on medium, it doesn't risse properly and it doesn't give good reasult. Try next time with high heat and your steamer should be hot enough when place the khaman tray in.

[reenachitra]

i dont have the steamer or special utensil u have used...so how to do for those who dont have that?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@reenachitra

Hi

As I said in one of the comment. You can use any other type of steamer as well. All you need is big wide pot and a tray. Hope this helps. If you still have question, feel free to ask. Enjoy!

[priyanka1875]

Hi Bhavana I really like your recipe but need to know can i make the same in microwave? If yes than how much time will it take and the proportion of ingredients will remain same?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@priyanka1875

Hi Priyanka!

I have never made in microwave. The ingredients remain the same but you have to keep an eye on it if you make in microwave since I have no idea how long it takes. Try to make with very small amount first and hopefully you get success.

[deeps786]

Hi Bhavana , i tried this recipe and it turn out gr8 i just dont have words to describe . you are best ....... before i tried lot of dhokla recipe and it didnt work as yours , my husband and me love dhoklas , Thanks for sharing with us, now whenever i feel to eat i just made it. Thank you again.

@deeps786

Hi

Glad to hear that. Keep enjoying.

[marivien1]

Is there a substitute fie ENO?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@marivien1

Hi

Dissolve baking soda in water and add that to batter. Enjoy!

[kinjal272]

Hi Bhavna I tried making your dishes and they turned out to be great. My husband and my children love mexican food and they enjoyed eating it. Can you give me the recipe of Enchilada sauce and Enchilada seasoning. We dont get these here and also tell me what herbs are there in the Taco seasoning.

So please help me with that.

[KissinAndTellin]

What's the difference between khaman and dhokla? Thanks!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@KissinAndTellin

Hi

Big difference and only tradtional people know it very well. Khaman is made from dal only usually bengal gram dal or besan(chick pea flour) while Dhokla contais rice and dal. I understand that to make instant dhokla, it is made from sooji and corn but traditional dhoklas are made from fermented rice and dal batter. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

[KissinAndTellin]

@SuperVeggieDelight Thank you, now I understand!

[Princess123style]

Hi bhavana wondeful recipe... :)

Just a tip: To get lump-free batter instantly, sieve all dry ingredients like in cake batter.
