Sev Khamani Recipe: Quick Snack To Prepare At Home

There are many classic snack items loved by the Gujarati community like Surti Sev Khamani, Bhakharvadi, Patra, etc..

Sev Khamani is a Gujarati favourite, originating from Surat. Today, I’ll share a quick sev khamani recipe with chickpea flour in place of soaked chana dal.

Chickpea flour is cooked crumbly after being combined with various spices. Sev, fresh coconut, and pomegranate seeds are used as garnishes. It can be prepared quickly and has a similar flavour to khamani made from chana dal lentils.

Sev khamni is referred to as farsan here in Surat (namkeen). The food is somewhat sweet rather than namkeen (salty). Additionally, it satisfies the stomach.

In place of amdavadi or bhavnagri, khamani is now referred to as Surti Sev Khamani. Follow the step-by-step instructions given below to cook this mouthwatering sev khamani recipe.

Instructions

 

• Soak Chana dal and urad dal and then bring to the batter form and then sieve into a mixing bowl.
• Add the oil, salt, sugar, nimbu na phool, ginger-garlic paste, turmeric powder, and green chilli paste. Gradually add water to the batter to get a medium consistency.
• For 10 minutes, cover and let the batter rest.
• Add two cups of water to a pan and set it up like a steamer.
• After that, stir the baking soda into the batter thoroughly. The besan batter puffs up quickly.
• Now pour the batter into the prepared dish coated with oil and cook the dhokla plate on a medium flame for 15 minutes.
• Take out the steam khaman dhokla and let it cool after 15 minutes.
• Now uniformly crumble the dhokla using a grater.
• Heat oil, add mustard seeds, white sesame seeds, curry leaves, and chopped green chillies to a pan. For one minute, sauté. Hing, turmeric powder, and water are then added. Mix gently, then let the water come to a boil.
• Add the crumbled dhokla mixture to the boiling water and stir well.
• Add the coriander leaves last, followed by the sev, coconut, and pomegranate seeds for garnish. Serve.

Notes

• With khamani, sugar helps in moisture retention.
• Continuously whisk the batter to include air particles.
• If you want better results, switch to eno from baking soda.
• As an option, you can prepare regular khaman dhoklas and crumble them before frying them in the spice mixture and garnishing it as usual.
• You can also add garlic to this dish if you prefer the flavour.

Conclusion

We all know the popular Gujarati snacks Muthiya and Khandvi, now sev khamani is a new candidate. The main ingredient in sev khamani is chana dal or split chickpeas. Steamed khaman made from chana dal is crumbled or cut into pieces.

The khamani is then coated with a tadka or vaghar, sev, and pomegranate seeds. We like sev khamani paired with chutney. When combined with the pomegranate seasoning, the chutney gives the dish a tangy, delightful flavour.
