Amiri Khaman Recipe | How to make Gujarati Sev Khamani (with Dhokla) | by Kavitha Ramaswamy of Foodomania.com

Known as Amiri Khaman or Sev Khamani, this delicious snack from Gujarat can be made using leftover Khaman (or for most non-Gujarati people – Yellow Dhokla)!

This is nothing but refurbished Khaman! Yes, the spongy chickpea-flour yellow snack (often mistaken for Dhokla – but it’s actually Khaman) forms the base of this dish. Once crumbled, it’s topped with a simple, garlicky tempering and topped off with fresh coriander leaves and pomegranate! It truly is delicious!

I posted this recipe on my Instagram account a few months ago, it quickly became one of the most saved and shared recipes (back then)! It’s not surprising why, considering how little time it takes to put this together. Now, if you want to make everything from scratch – including the Khaman base – then you’ll need to plan ahead of time. However, if you live in India, you’ll have access to the “yellow dhokla”, which is what is used to make this Amiri Khaman. 🙂

Here’s a quick video tutorial on how to make this tea-time snack –
