Mix well and add a cup of water to the mixture.
Rest the mixture for 10 minutes.
Ensure that the batter is of pouring consistency, and there are no lumps in the batter (ad some water if required).
Then add a tablespoon of Oil and whisk.
Simultaneously, heat the Steaming cooker by adding adequate quantity of water at the bottom of the vessel.
Place a greased aluminium plate in the Steaming cooker and keep it ready.
Once the water in the Steamer boils and starts releasing steam, add a teaspoon of Soda Bi-carb in the batter and whisk in a single direction.
Pour the batter into the greased aluminium plate. Steam it for approximately 20 -25 minutes on medium flame.
Once done, allow it to cool.
To make tempering, heat Oil in a pan.
Once heated, add the Mustard Seeds, Asafoetida, Curry leaves, Chilly Flakes and Sesame Seeds to the Oil. Turn off the flame once done. Pour the tempering over the Dhokla and spread it evenly over the surface.
Then cut it into square shape.
Garnish it with Coriander.
Serve immediately with Green Chutney.

Notes

1. You may add vegetables like grated Carrot, Sweet Corn etc. to the mixture.
2. With the same batter, you may make mini Idlis.
3. Instead of pouring the Tempering over Dhokla, you may Saute the Dhokla in tempering on medium flame till the tempering is coated to the Dhoklas.
