Instructions
In a large bowl add besan, sooji, hing, salt, and sugar.
Add oil, lemon juice, crushed ginger-green chilli and salt to it.
Add water and beat the dhokla batter a couple of times to incorporate air into it. This will result in a fluffy and light dhokla.
Now take a cooker and put 2 glass of water in it. Keep the cooker on the stove.
Take a separator or any other utensil which can be kept into the cooker. Grease the separator.
Now add eno powder into the mixture and stir it for a minute in one direction. Pour the mixture into the separator.
Now keep a forged stand or any plate into the cooker before placing the separator in the cooker so it doesn't touch the bottom of the cooker.
Close the lid of the cooker and remove the whistle from it. And cook dhokla over medium flame for 20 minutes or until done.
In order to check whether it is properly baked or not, you can put a fork or a tooth pick into the dhokla. If it comes out clean this means that the dhokla is ready.
Take out the separator from the cooker and let it cool down.
Once the dhokla cools down take it out on a plate with the help of a knife and cut it into pieces of desired shape and size.
Now take a small pan and heat 1 tbsp oil in it.
Add mustard seeds and let it splutter.
Add curry leaves and fry for few seconds.
Add green chilli and 1 small cup of water.
Now add sugar and salt into the mixture and let it boil. Turn off the flame.
Pour this curry over each and every dhokla pieces with the help of a spoon. So your dhokla is ready to be served.
Notes
The dhokla mixture should be too thin or too thick else the dhokla will not rise well.
Add eno into the mixture and stir it well with a spoon. As soon as the bubbles appear, immediately pour the dhokla batter in the greased plate to cook.
Do not whisk the mixture for long after adding Eno to it.
Dhokla will not rise well if you delay the time to cook dhokla after adding eno salt to it.
