Cut 4 leftover rotis into small pieces.

Soak the roti pieces in 1.5 cups buttermilk for a few minutes.

In a mixer jar, add 3 green chilies, 4-5 garlic cloves, and 1 inch ginger; blend into a paste.

Add the soaked roti pieces to the mixer jar and blend until smooth.

Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl.

Add 1/2 cup semolina, 1.5 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, and 1/4 tsp asafoetida to the bowl; mix well.

Adjust the batter consistency with 1/3 cup buttermilk and 2 tsp oil; mix thoroughly.

Cover the batter and let it rest for 5 minutes.

After resting, add a pinch of sugar and 1/4 cup buttermilk; mix well.

Grease a dhokla plate and prepare a steamer with boiling water.

Add 1 tsp fruit salt to the batter and mix well; pour the batter into the greased plate.

Sprinkle some red chili powder on top of the batter.

Steam the batter on high flame for 12 minutes without opening the lid.

While the dhokla is steaming, prepare the tempering by heating 1 tbsp oil in a pan.

Add 1.5 tsp mustard seeds and let them splutter, then add 1 tsp cumin seeds and 1/4 tsp asafoetida.

Once fragrant, add 1-2 tsp white sesame seeds and mix well.

After 12 minutes, check the dhokla; it should be fluffy and cooked through.

Remove the dhokla from the steamer and let it cool for a few minutes.

Cut the dhokla into pieces and pour the tempering over it.

Serve with green chutney or garlic chutney.
