1. Prepare the Batter:

2. Prepare the Steamer:

- Fill a steamer pot with water and bring it to a boil. Grease a dhokla tray or a shallow plate with oil.

3. Add Baking Soda:

- After resting, add baking soda to the batter and mix gently. The batter should be slightly thick but pourable.

4. Steam the Dhokla:

- Pour the batter into the greased tray and spread it evenly. Place the tray in the steamer and cover it. Steam for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

5. Temper the Dhokla:

- In a small pan, heat oil for tempering. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add slit green chilies and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute.

6. Finishing Touches:
