When you think about Gujarat and its glorious cuisine, often the first images that come to mind belong to evergreen dishes like dhokla, khaman, khakra and fafda. Gujarat offers a host of delightful snacks that are very popular across the length and breadth of India. Gujaratis know very well how to extract maximum flavours from all the veggies and grains in their kitchen. Dhokla and Khaman are popular Gujarati dishes that are preferred even by those trying to stay away from junk food. Not only do they taste heavenly, they are light on the tummy and can serve as any-time snacks. Some of us may get confused between dhokla and khaman as both of them look pretty similar. How are they different? Let’s find out. What is Khaman?Khaman is made up of fresh ground channa daal or channa flour (besan), soaked in water to make a soft thick paste which has a cake-batter like consistency. This is then baked to a spongy bread like texture. Gram flour, semolina (rava/suji), lemon juice and curd are some of the main ingredients used in baking Khaman. The snack can be baked in a cooker, steamer or even a microwave. A final touch a tadka using curry leaves, hing (asafoetida) and chillies is added. This is just the basic version of khaman, there are several other interesting versions out there that are a must-try too.
