Khaman

🇮🇳 Indian

Spongy Gujarati khaman, lighter and sweeter than dhokla. Bold, loud, sweet-hot-sour-tangy all at once — India's street food playbook. Serve in paper plates for the full street experience.

Prep 23 min Cook 24 min Serves 1 Medium

Ingredients

  • Yogurt2 cups, whisked
  • Saltto taste
  • Onion1, finely chopped
  • Green Chili2
  • Mustard Seeds1 tsp
  • Lemon1
  • Gram Flour1 cup
  • Chaat Masala1 tsp
  • Roasted Cumin1 tsp

Optional extras

  • Fresh Cilantro2 tbsp, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prep the components first — chopped onions, chutneys, spice mixes in reach — because street food waits for nothing.

  2. 2

    Cook the base element — boil, fry or toast it — till it is exactly right; texture is the whole story here.

  3. 3

    Spoon over the chutneys and yogurt in wide ribbons across the whole surface, not the middle.

  4. 4

    Season aggressively — street vendors' hands are heavy with masala, and yours should be too.

  5. 5

    Scatter the yogurt and cilantro, add one more drag of chutney, and put it in front of someone immediately.

Chef's tip

Resting the finished dish for five minutes off the heat lets the spices settle and deepen.
