Recipe

In a mixing bowl, combine besan, ginger-green chili paste, lemon juice, sugar, turmeric powder, and water to make a smooth batter.

Grease a steaming pan and bring water to a boil in a steamer.

Add fruit salt to the batter, mix gently until it frops, and pour immediately into the greased pan.

Steam on medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

For the tempering, heat oil in a small pan, crackle mustard seeds, add curry leaves, slit green chilies, and a little water with sugar.

Pour the tempering over the cooked dhokla, cut into squares, and garnish with coriander and coconut.

Serve warm alongside freshly brewed masala chai.
