The Story Behind the Dish
Steamed, fermented snacks have a long history in Gujarat — a dish called dukkia is mentioned in a Jain text from the 11th century and is often linked to today's dhokla.
The bright yellow khaman, made from chickpea flour, is now the most famous version and a symbol of Gujarati cooking, which balances sweet, sour and spicy in almost every dish.
⭐ Why It's Famous
Light, steamed rather than fried, and ready in half an hour, dhokla is breakfast, snack and party food all at once.
💡 Fun Fact
Many Gujarati cooks use Eno, a fizzy antacid fruit salt, as their secret leavening — it creates the instant foam that gives dhokla its sponge.
