Last month, I visited Gujrat and I am a foodie who wants food every time. I visited every place like Sabarmati Ashram and saw a statue of unity also. I went to a traditional restaurant there and the thing I ate is Khaman Dhokla (also known as Steamed Besan Dhokla) but that day I felt good after eating that Dhokla because before that day I ate a lot of khaman dhokla but I found it very delicious.
I went to the chef of that restaurant and asked him about the recipe but he did not give me the recipe but he suggested a book from where I will get the recipe of Khaman Dhokla.
