Hello All

Its raining at my place since morning .... and very nice weather... everywhere greenery and the pleasent smell of soil.... what else you need to start monday :) :).... Hope everywhere monsoon had stepped in... I love to sit at home in monsoon in balcony or near window and watching the drizzles of water... with a cup of hot tea.. and some yummy hot tangy snack... :) :)... 

Last time I shared a healthy snack good to go with tea i.e Poha Cutlet .... Today will continue the same topic with a new dish "Khaman Dhokla"... or simply "Dhokla"... Its a well known Gujarati Snack..But now its not limited in Gujarat..Everywhere its a well famous snack... Kids ...Young people..Teenagers or Adults.. everyone jst love to eat Dhoklas with a  mint coriander and tamarind chutney :) :).. With some Sev on it... Many stalls of Dhoklas you can find on streets in INDIA....  Also Dhoklas are easy to digest... that is another plus point in this snack.... Even in very less amount of oil is need to temper... again a healthy snack for cholestrol people...

We can prepare Dhoklas in many ways.. Like some prepare with gram flour... some prepare with Semolina... Some prepare with Rice and Dal flour ...etc... But trust me all test awesome :) :)... Today here we will discuss a Dhokla prepared with a mix of gram flour and semolina... So let's start with the Dhoklas ....
