For the love of all foods Gujarati, this was a long time coming. Yes there are many more to be made and devoured, but what really appeals to me in Gujarati cuisine is the versatility and the ways the same ingredient gives rise to so many different dishes.
Besan (gram flour) for instance is seen in a steamed steamed khaman / dhokla (which btw are two different Dishes often confused one for the other) to a rolled khandvi to a pan fried thepla to a fried delicacy in Fafda , mixed with methi in a Gota and many many more in between.
And then you have those dishes which are created from leftovers like today’s Amiri Khaman. The soft spongy dhokla is dressed up further to make this amazing snack Amiri Khaman.
Leftovers or not, I bet you would want to make fresh dhoklas like we did just to create Amiri Khaman.
So the26- day street food festival begins with A for Amiri khaman, a.k.a Gujarati Sev Khamani.

I remember having this for the first time in Ahmadabad during the Bm meet and I totally loved it. I have been making large batches of dhokla just so we have leftovers to make this dish but it gets over so fast!! Need to make a batch just to make this one!

Suma Gandlur says
Perfectly made and presented amiri khaman.
Same pinch with the theme. Actually I wanted to go with the same choice but I couldn't find pomegrantaes anywhere in the middle of the winter and had to give up.
looking forward to your recipes this month.
