How to make Instant Nylon Khaman recipe| Gujarati Khaman Dhokla recipe |Soft, Spongy, Instant Nylon Khaman Recipe with written and video recipe Nylon Khaman is very popular and traditional snack recipe from Gujarati Cuisine . This snack recipe is a fantastic combination of Sweet and sour taste. Nylon Khaman generally served as a snack or breakfast or with a meal too.

Gujarati Cuisine is well known for its wide variety of Vegetarian and very delicious recipes which are rich and flavourful too. One such easy and simple snack recipe is Khaman Dhokla , made with fermented batter. Traditionally dhokla was made with grounding soaked chanadal and later ferment it overnight. Fermentation step can be a time consuming and requires lot of planning.  To mitigate this , there are several instant versions too . I have already shared here such Instant version for INSTANT BESAN DHOKLA, using curd and semolina in besan flour batter. Do checkout that recipe too.

Here, in this recipe , I am showing  another very easy and quick version to make soft, fluffy and very delicious Nylon Khaman with the use of Citric Acid.

I have made this very tasty Nylon Khaman with IDHAYAM MANTRA GROUNDNUT OIL. Using this traditional ,natural and pure groundnut oil gives pleasure and satisfaction towards health of my family. Idhayam Mantra Groundnut Oil is a heart friendly oil too. The high smoking point of groundnut oil makes it ideal for deep frying too. Click here to know more about Idhayam products.

Some important Notes
  • Seive flour . It’s very important and crucial step. With this , flour will get good airy texture, and that’s so much needed for perfect result.
  • Citric Acid. In this recipe, I have used Citric Acid , but if it’s not available at your end one can replace it with Lemon Juice .
  • Cooking Soda can be replaced with Fruit Salt too. The best option for Fruit Salt is ENO, a very popular brand in market.
  • Turmeric Powder . Use just a pinch of it (or just avoid it) , as it will react with cooking soda and yield red colour dots on dhokla .
