Besan dhokla without eno | khaman dhokla without eno | how to make dhokla without eno salt, as the title suggests, is a recipe of dhokla which is made when you don’t have eno or don’t want to use it.

Khaman is a gujrati name for gram flour which is called besan in hindi is generally made using ENO salt and in this blog you will find 2 recipes of dhokla both made with eno.

One is instant khaman dhokla and other is tricolour dhokla, you can make on independence or republic day to please your kids or for the school theme.

This recipe of besan dhokla is the outcome of present lockdown we are going through in the country. ENO is not available at home and I was craving for dhokla.

The difference between the recipe of instant khaman dhokla and present recipe of dhokla without eno is of 30 minutes. Instant dhokla is made instantly without giving any resting time whereas present recipe asks for 30 minutes.

I think 30 minutes extra time is not at all a big deal when you are badly craving for dhokla & you don’t have an access to eno salt.

When you are in certain contingencies and looking forward to substitutes, you do find that and that’s the beauty of cooking. This is sea vast and you can bring the dish to its conclusion with certain tits and bits.

ENO does a job of fermenting the batter by creating air in it and here, the same job was assigned to baking soda & baking powder in absence of ENO. Curd is also there to accelerate the fermentation process.

It is to be mentioned here that we have the recipe of homemade ENO too in this blog but even all the ingredients to make homemade eno wasn’t available with us.

To sum up, here we are proving the link to all the recipes which includes Homemade ENO & Instant Khaman dhokla (made with ENO). Depending upon the availability of ingredients, choose your recipe.
