Instructions

1. Sift the Besan

   Place the 1 kg of besan in a fine mesh sieve and sift into a large mixing bowl to remove lumps.

   Time: PT2M

2. Add Dry Ingredients

   Add 35 g citric acid, 35 g salt, and a pinch of yellow food color (pre‑dissolved in a splash of water) to the sifted besan.

   Time: PT3M

3. Incorporate Oil and Water

   Pour 100 ml neutral oil into the bowl, then gradually add 1.5 L room‑temperature water while whisking continuously in one direction.

   Time: PT10M

4. Add Sugar to the Batter

   Stir in 100 g granulated sugar until fully dissolved; this adds a subtle sweetness.

   Time: PT2M

5. Activate Baking Soda

   Sprinkle 36 g baking soda over the batter and whisk for another 2 minutes, then continue whisking for 10 minutes until the batter becomes light, airy, and reaches a thick‑but‑pourable consistency.

   Time: PT12M

6. Prepare Steaming Setup

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 100°C

7. Steam the Khaman

   Time: PT2M

   In a separate pan, heat 30 ml oil, add 5 g mustard seeds until they pop, then add 5 g curry leaves and 2 slit green chilies. Stir for 1 minute, add 500 ml water, bring to a boil, then add 200 g sugar and the remaining 500 ml water. Simmer for 3 minutes.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: 100°C

10. Cut and Dress the Khaman
