DHOKLA
Dhokla is a vegetarian food item that originates from the Indian state of Gujarat. It is a tasty, healthy, vegan, steamed snack from Gujarat made with chickpea flour (besan) and tempering of Indian spices. Dhokla can be eaten for breakfast, as a main course, as a side dish, or as a snack. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to categorise it as one of the healthiest and tasty snacks of India. Also known as khaman dhokla, it is a very popular street food throughout the country. Dhokla owes its popularity to an addictive flavour, visual appeal and health quotient.
