Cooking Steps
In a mixing bowl, combine maize flour, ginger paste, green chili paste, turmeric powder, lemon juice, salt, and water to form a smooth batter. The batter should have a pouring consistency.
Grease a steamer plate with oil and keep it ready.
In a large pan, add water and bring it to a boil. Place the steamer plate inside the pan and let it heat for 5-7 minutes.
Once the water comes to a boil, add Eno fruit salt to the batter and mix well.
Pour the batter onto the greased steamer plate and spread it evenly.
Place the steamer plate inside the pan and cover it with a lid. Let it steam for 10-12 minutes on medium heat.
Once the dhokla is cooked, turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
Cut the dhokla into small squares or diamond shapes.
In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds and sesame seeds. Let them splutter.
Pour the tempering over the dhokla and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve the dhokla warm.
