Steps

20-25 mins

1

Add the besan, suji, salt, turmeric powder & 1/4 tsp hing in a large mixing bowl.
2

Grind the ginger, garlic and 2 green chillies to make a smooth paste, adding just a little water to blend it fine. I used 4 green chillies, asy daughter likes her food spicy, you can restrict it to 2.
3

Mix this into the dry besan mix, add 1 tsp lemon juice, 1 tsp oil & add about 3/4th cup to 1 cup of water gradually and mix to make a smooth paste.
4

Immediately, add 1/2 to 3/4 tsp Eno and mix well
5

Grease a cake pan or mould with oil, add the ready batter.
6

Steam cook for around 15 mins or till done. I used a rice cooker to steam. Once done, allow the dhokla to cool and de-mould carefully.
7

Now heat 2 sp oil in a tadka pan, add the mustard, cumin, & sesame seeds, a pinch of hing, the curry leaves 2-3 and slit green chillies. Allow it all to crackle for a few seconds.
8

Pour almost all the tadka over the de- moulded dhokla, saving some.
9

In the same tadka pan, add about 1/2 Cup water, sugar and some salt. Bring it to a boil with the remaining tadka. Take off heat. Add chopped fresh coriander into it. Add 2 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice.
10

Pour this on top of the dhokla, allowing the water mix to soak in
11

Cut into neat squares and serve with green chutney and chai. Enjoy 🙂
