Step:
Grease a big bowl with oil and keep aside.
Boil 1 glass of water in a steamer
Now mix well all the ingredients except the fruit salt in a big mixing bowl, to form an even lump free batter.
Add the fruit salt and 2 teaspoons of water and gently mix it in the batter. The batter will rise quickly.
Add the batter immediately to the greased bowl
Now keep the bowl inside the steamer with boiling water.
Cover with a lid and allow it to steam for 10-12 minutes till the khaman is done.
Check with a pointed knife in the centre, if it comes out clean, then it's done.
Remove the khaman from the pan carefully once cooled.
For the tempering: Heat oil, add mustard seeds then add the rest of the ingredients for tempering to hot oil, except water.
Sauté for half a minute on low flame, add the water and immediately pour it over the steamed and cooled khaman.

The addition of white sesame seeds gives the khaman a new flavour
