2.       Grind it along with the green chillies, ginger and garlic using buttermilk to a paste.

3.       The paste should be little coarse to the touch and not very smooth. The consistency should be pouring but a little thinner than the dosa batter.

4.       Keep this covered to ferment overnight.

5.       Next day mix it well adding salt and sugar.

6.       Take half the batter and add in ¼ tsp of eno fruit salt. The batter will start showing bubbles. Mix it well but don’t over mix and immediately pour into a greased dhokla steamer or a greased plate. Steam it for 10 – 15 min.

7.       Poke a knife in the centre of the dhokla. If the knife comes out clean then it’s cooked.
