Khaman dhokla is slightly different than typical dhokla recipes. Khaman is a preparation style that uses only chickpeas for the batter as opposed to the rice and chickpea batter, which is the basis of most dhoklas. Generally, khaman dhokla is also much lighter in color than traditional dhokla. Like dhokla, however, khaman is great for almost any meal. You can serve it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or as an appetizer.
Health Benefits
One of the primary ingredients in this dhokla is yoghurt, a food that has long been praised for its myriad health benefits. Yoghurt provides the body with probiotics, which help improve digestive health. Probiotics introduce good bacteria into your digestive tract which helps regulate bowel movements, and even treat diarrhea. Overall, probiotics help to regulate the levels of bacteria in your gut. Gut bacteria has been linked to mood regulation and mental health, so be sure to pay attention to how your stomach feels.
