Dhokla !
Dhokla is a popular Indian snack that originated in the state of Gujarat. It is made from a fermented batter of gram flour (besan) and yogurt, which is spiced with green chilies, ginger, and turmeric. The batter is then steamed to create a soft and spongy texture. Dhokla is typically served with a drizzle of tempered mustard seeds and curry leaves on top, along with a side of tangy chutney made from tamarind or mint. It is a light and healthy snack that is loved for its tangy and slightly sweet flavor. Dhokla can be enjoyed as a breakfast dish, an appetizer, or even as a light meal. Its unique taste and texture make it a favorite among both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike.
