Fool-Proof Khaman Dhokla

Khaman dhokla is a dish I make weekly at home without fail. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this dish it’s basically a savory steamed chickpea flour sponge cake tempered with spices. My whole family loves khaman so much so that I find myself having to make 6+ trays of them every time we have a family dinner or get together.  In fact, every single time I visit my mom I make a whole batch because she absolutely loves my khaman and my mother is no easy critic to please! It’s super easy to make and the recipe I have come up with is practically fool-proof! You can even make it in the microwave to save time and clean up. Do try it and let me know what you think!

Sweet and Spicy Gujarati Kadhi

 

Kadhi can be compared to a creamy, tangy, and spicy soup if you will. I have always looked at kadhi as comfort food. In India Kadhi comes in many variations, Punjabi Kadhi has Pakora(dumplings) in it and Sindhi Kadhi is sort of similar to Sambhar or Dal.  I remember the first time I had Punjabi Kadhi, I found it quite weird that there was “bhaajiya”(pakora) in my Kadhi. I have since fallen in love with my husband’s Punjabi Kadhi,  although the recipe below will always be my first choice compared to any other kadhi EVER! This particular recipe is for Gujarati Kadhi, just like my mama makes! In my family, we enjoy eating kadhi with a steaming helping of Basmati Rice or Khichdi. You can drink it as soup, eat it with roti or serve it over rice or khichdi, completely your choice!
