SLC S-30-W5// "Traditional Steam Cooking- Khaman Dhokla (Gram Flour Cake)"
I am happy to participate in the 5th week of Steemit Challenge season 30. Thank you @jyoti-thelight mam for giving this opportunity to us.
What dishes do you prepare in your region using gram flour? Are any of them cooked by steaming?
In Bangladesh, gram flour is commonly used to make beeguni, piyaju, pakora and bara, which are fried snacks. A very popular dish in Bangladesh is made with gram flour, which is bundia. It is a dessert item. Foods prepared by steaming with gram flour are rarely seen in Bangladesh, but dhokla is a steamed dish, which many people are currently choosing as a healthy alternative. Currently, such steamed dishes are very popular in Bangladesh.
Make the "Khaman Dhokla (Gram Flour Cake)" or any similar dish that are shared in the course, or make them as per your style, with a detailed step-by-step procedure along with images.
