In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup oats and 1/2 cup semolina; mix well.

Add 1/2 cup yogurt to the mixture, ensuring it's slightly sour for better texture.

Incorporate 1 tablespoon salt and ginger and green chili paste into the mixture; mix thoroughly.

Gradually add water, starting with 1/2 cup, mixing until smooth.

Add more water (1/4 cup) to achieve a batter consistency similar to that of pakoras; mix well.

Cover the batter and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow it to rise and soften.

Grease steaming plates with oil while waiting for the batter to rest.

Check the batter after resting; it should have risen slightly but not be too thin; mix again.

Add fresh chopped cilantro and 1/2 tablespoon oil to the batter; mix well.

Add 1 teaspoon baking soda to activate the batter; mix in one direction for 1 minute.

Spread the batter evenly onto the greased plates.

Sprinkle red chili powder on top for garnish.

Boil water in a steamer; reduce flame to low before placing the plates inside.

Cover the steamer and steam for 15 minutes without opening the lid.

After 15 minutes, turn off the flame and carefully remove the plates from the steamer.

Let the dhokla cool for 1-2 minutes before cutting into squares.

For tempering, heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan; add 1 tablespoon mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Add 10 curry leaves and 2 chopped green chilies; sauté briefly before turning off the heat.

Pour the tempering over the dhokla pieces and serve warm with cilantro-mint chutney or ketchup.
