- After 30 mins, mix the batter very well for 5 mins till it gets a good consistency
- If the batter is too dry, then you may add half a cup of water and mix it well
- Taste the batter once to check if you need to add some salt and green chillies
- Take an oil greased plate and pour this batter into it
- Level the batter in the dish and steam it for 10-15 mins
- By the time the dhokla cools down, turn on the flame, take a small pan, add oil (let it get warm), then add mustard seeds(black) & curry leaves, let them crackle and turn off the flame
- Put this oil with mustard & curry leaves over the dhokla
- Now make pieces of dhokla and serve it by garnishing it with a little bit of coriander.
