1 tsp of black gram skinless (urad dal)

¼ cup of yogurt

1 ½ cup of hot water

1 one-inch piece ginger

Roast the rice and the dal on medium heat for four to five minutes. Allow it to cool and then grind into a semi-coarse powder.

Put the powder in a bowl. Add yoghurt (little sour), oil, papad kharo and hot water into the bowl. Mix thoroughly so that no lumps are formed and the batter is of pouring consistency.

Add salt and let it ferment for eight to ten hours. Make a paste of ginger and green chillies. Once fermented, mix the ginger, green chilli paste with the batter. Add turmeric powder, crushed peanut, and Eno.

Grease the dhokla platter or a thali. Boil water in the steamer/boiler.

Pour mixture onto the greased platter, sprinkle sesame seeds and keep it in the steamer to steam for 15-20 minutes or longer if layer is thick.

When done, let it little bit cool and cut into desired shape

Now heat oil in a very small pan, add mustard seeds, let it poped. Once seeds are popped, let it cool little bit and pour onto Dhokla

Sprinkle some finely chopped coriander leaves, shreded coconut can be sprinkled as well, and serve hot with green chutney.
