Steps

1

Firstly, wash the moong dal and soak in water for 1 or 2 hours. Drain the water and transfer into a mixer jar and grind to a smooth paste using little water. Transfer this paste to a large mixing bowl.

In a blender, add little moong dal paste, ginger, green chillies, lemon juice and sugar.

Add this paste to the moong dal paste. To it, add turmeric powder and salt and mix well. Stir in one direction for 3 to 4 minutes. Next add baking soda and baking powder. Mix it well. If you want it to rise more, add 3/4 tsp of baking soda and 3/4 tsp baking powder.
5

Grease a pan with oil. Pour in the prepared batter. Steam it for 12 to 15 minutes on medium flame. Check with a toothpick. If it comes out clean means the dhokla is cooked. Remove and allow to cool for some time.
