Prepare the batter by heating 1/2 cup oats on low heat for 5 minutes and let it cool down.

Once cooled, grind the oats into a fine powder in a blender.

Transfer the ground oats to a bowl and add 1/2 cup semolina.

Add 1/2 cup yogurt and mix well.

Incorporate 1/2 cup grated carrot, 1 tablespoon ginger-green chili paste, and 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves into the mixture.

Gradually add 1/2 cup water while mixing until smooth.

Cover the batter and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Grease a steaming tray with oil.

Check the batter; if it's thick, add more water gradually and mix well.

Add salt to taste and a squeeze of lemon juice, mixing thoroughly.

Pour the batter into the greased tray.

Sprinkle red chili powder, black pepper powder, and roasted cumin powder on top.

Steam the dhokla for 15 minutes.

After steaming, let it cool down before cutting into pieces.

In a small pan, heat 2 teaspoons of oil for tempering.

Add 1 teaspoon mustard seeds and let them crackle.

Once the mustard seeds crackle, turn off the heat and add 2 finely chopped green chilies, 1 tablespoon oil, 8-10 curry leaves, and 1/2 teaspoon asafoetida, mixing well.

Spread the tempering over the cooled dhokla and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
