Khaman dhokla

Dhokla is a vegetarian food item that originates from the Indian state of Gujarat. It is made up of fermented batter derived from rice and split chickpeas or chana dal . Dhokla is very simmilar to khamman however dhokala is made from batter derived from rice and gram  and is white in color . whereas khamman is typically made from chickpeas gram and looks yellow in color .Khamman is widely popular out side Gujarat but is misunderstood or incorrectly known as Dhokla. It can be eaten for breakfast, as snacks,even main course or side dish.
