Corn Dhokla | Corn Recipe | Dhokla Recipe | Khaman Dhokla – Easy Snacks Recipe with step-by-step photo and video instructions. This corn-based dhokla is a delightful twist to the traditional dhokla varieties commonly made in Indian households. It gives a unique flavor and texture that stands out from regular dhokla recipes. It is another creative way of using corn to make an easy and delicious snack that not only cooks quickly but also turns out incredibly soft, fluffy, and tempting.

I always like to add my personal touch to every dish using different masalas, so tried many South Indian and North Indian snack recipes. Presentation also matters a lot, so make sure to garnish every dish beautifully to make it look even more tempting. I often experiment with various dhokla recipes, but my recent favorite is this soft and flavorful corn dhokla. Many people get bored with the same traditional besan or rava dhokla, so this recipe can be a refreshing change and a new way of using corn in snacks. One of the best things about this recipe is that it comes together quickly and doesn’t require any fancy ingredients. Just steam the batter perfectly, and finally top it with a tadka for that authentic dhokla taste.

Moreover, I will share some easy and important tips and tricks while preparing corn dhokla at home. Firstly, in this recipe, I have steamed the batter in a regular mould, but you can use any shape or size of mould depending on your preference—even small cupcake moulds for mini dhoklas. Secondly, don’t forget to garnish it with freshly prepared tadka and some coriander to make it look more appealing. Thirdly, corn dhokla tastes great on its own, but you can also serve it with spicy green chutney, tomato ketchup, or any side dish of your choice to enhance the flavour. Lastly, this dhokla can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Just microwave it for 30–60 seconds or re-steam it for a few minutes to refresh its softness before serving.
