Click here to view Khaman Dhokla recipe. The Khaman Dhokla is an all-time favourite Gujaratisnack that is served with peppy green chutney at tea time. It has an exquisite texture and appetizing flavour, but is surprisingly easy to make, especially this version that is made in the microwave oven.

A batter of besan and rava is cooked into fluffy dhoklas, which are tempered traditionally to get an aromatic and tasty snack. Citric acid and fruit salt added to the batter enable you to cook the dhoklas quickly and easily in the microwave oven without requiring fermentation or a long duration of steaming. You can enjoy the Quick Microwave Khaman Dhokla any day you wish to, or even serve it to a sudden guest, as it will be ready in a jiffy!

Is Khaman Dhokla healthy?

Yes, khaman dhokla is healthy but diabetics need to be careful. Khaman dhokla is made mainly of besan, rava, little sugar and Indian spices.

Let's understand the Ingredients.

Besan : Besan has more good fat than whole wheat flour and also more protein content. Rich in complex carbohydrates and with a low glycemic index, besan is good for diabetics too. See detailed benefits of besan and why it's good for you. 

What's the problem?

Rava (semolina) :  What's good? Semolina is a fairly good source of Magnesium and phosphorus which is necessary to keep our nervous system healthy and working. What's the issue? Fibre is one key nutrient for weight loss and semolina is devoid of it. Semolina is not suitable for diabetics. 

Is khaman dhokla safe for diabetics, heart and overweight individuals?

Yes, nylon khaman dhokla is healthy but cut the sugar used. Removing the sugar the recipe will yet taste good. BUT rava is also an issue.

You can have Baked methi muthia recipe,  Zunka recipe, moong dal dhokla recipe, bajra carrot onion uttapam recipe or buckwheat pancake as one healthy recipe option. 

Moong Dal Dhokla

Can healthy individuals have khaman dhokla?

Yes they can as there is not much sugar used in the recipe and rava is very little. But don't over eat this dhokla or make it without sugar or cut the sugar used by half.

What accompaniment to have your khaman dhokla with?

We suggest a healthy green chutney recipe made of mint, coriander and onions. Note this recipe uses only 1 tsp of sugar for 3/4 cup of chutney. If your diabetic and want to be very very strict, then don't add the sugar.
