Recipe: Instant Khaman Dhokla- The Healthy Snack or Breakfast

Khaman Dhokla is one of my favorite comfort food. I enjoy it in breakfast and evening snacks as well. The soft, fluffy and spongy texture wins my heart every time I have it. If you are looking out for some healthy options to have you can definitely add it to the list as it is steamed, therefore, it is healthy and you can eliminate or modify the tempering as per your need. By not adding the oil or sugar water you can still enjoy it.
