For Tempering:
oil one spoon
Green chilies 7-8 (sliced lengthwise)
Curry leaves – 10-12

Method to make Dhokla :

Sieve the besan in a bowl. Now add curd, salt, turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon oil, and lemon juice and mix it for 1 minute. Now add water little by little and make a smooth batter (the batter should not be too thin or too thick) Now keep the batter aside for half an hour to set.

Better is getting set till then let’s prepare further. First, grease a bowl with oil so that the dhokla does not stick to the bottom. Now put two bowls of water in a pan and keep the stand. Now heat the water on high to medium flame till it starts boiling.

Now roll the gram flour batter once more with a spoon. Now put baking soda in this batter and add one teaspoon of water and stir the batter for 1 minute.

Now you will see that the batter has puffed up, now immediately put it in a utensil greased with oil and keep it on the stand in the pan.

Cover the lid over the pan and cook for 15-20 minutes. Open it after the fixed time and check by inserting a knife. If the knife comes out clean, then understand that the Dhokla is well made, if the batter is sticking to the knife, then cook for two to three more minutes. Now take out the utensil and let it cool down a bit.

After it cools down, cut the dhokla into medium pieces with a knife. Now our Dhokla is ready.

Tadka :

Put oil in a small pan, after the oil is hot, add mustard seeds, after the mustard seeds crackle, add green chilies and fry them lightly, now add half a cup of water (100 grams of water) to this spice, also add salt and sugar.

Turn off the gas when it starts boiling, and add lemon juice. Pour this tempering all over the dhokla with a spoon. Garnish with green coriander or grated coconut on top. Serve and eat hot, fresh gram flour dhokla.
