1

To make khaman dhokla, first of all strain the gram flour into a big bowl with a strainer so that the thick granules will get left behind and you'll get a smooth and fluffy batter.
Now add salt, citric acid (lemon juice), finely chopped ginger and finely chopped green chillies.
2

Then add powdered sugar and 2 pinch asafoetida into the bowl.
Mix all this ingredients properly and then add little water step by step and make a thick batter with it. Don't add the water directly otherwise it will create lumps in your batter. Add it little step by step and mix it with a spoon.
3

Whisk it in one direction with your hand for atleast 10 to 15 minutes.
Add 2 tsp oil and mix well.
This work of whisking is the only hard work you have to do for making the dhokla.
After whisking it continuously for 10 minutes, keep it for rest for at least 25 to 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes of complete rest add 2 tsp baking soda into it and whisk it again thoroughly only for seconds.
Now without wasting any time add this batter into a container in which you want to make your dhokla.

Take a big bowl and boil some water in it.
Make sure that it can sustain your container.
Put a stand into the bowl.
Now put this container over the stand.
Put the gas on medium flame and cover the lid gently.
6

Cook it for at least 20 to 25 minutes at medium flame.
After getting 25 minutes put off the gas flame and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Don't open the lid for five minutes and it will give you more better result.

So for making a tempering heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan.
Add mustard seeds and let it crackle.
Add some slit green chillies, curry leaves
Add 1 cup of water into it. It will produce some sizzling sound.
