Besan Dhokla is a savory steamed cake made from gram flour (besan). It is a popular snack from the state of Gujarat, India. The batter for besan dhokla is prepared by mixing gram flour, yogurt, and a pinch of turmeric. The batter is then fermented for a few hours, which gives the dhokla its characteristic texture and taste. Once fermented, the batter is steamed until it becomes soft and spongy. The steamed dhokla is then cut into pieces and garnished with a tempering of mustard seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies. Besan dhokla is typically served with a side of green chutney or tamarind chutney. It is a healthy and nutritious snack that can be enjoyed as a breakfast or evening snack.
