Step-by-Step Instructions

In a bowl, whisk water, sugar, salt, lemon juice, 1 tbsp oil, ginger-chili paste, and pinch of turmeric until sugar dissolves.

Sift in besan and sooji. Whisk in one direction for 3 minutes to incorporate air. Rest 10 minutes.

Add Eno fruit salt and 1 tsp water over it; gently fold until batter turns frothy and doubles in volume.

Immediately pour into greased pan and steam on high flame for 15-18 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Prepare tempering: heat 1 tbsp oil, crackle mustard seeds, sesame seeds, curry leaves, and slit green chilies. Add 3/4 cup water, 1 tbsp sugar, and lemon juice; bring to a boil.

Cut warm dhokla into squares. Pour hot tempering water evenly so dhokla absorbs it and turns soft and juicy. Garnish with fresh coconut and coriander.
