Welcome to the channel and introduction to the recipe.

Measure 1 cup of gram flour and 1 cup of yogurt.

Add water gradually while mixing to form a batter, ensuring it is smooth.

Let the batter rest for 3-4 hours for fermentation.

Chop 8 green chilies, 3-4 garlic cloves, and a small piece of ginger.

After fermentation, add the chopped green chilies, garlic, ginger, 1.5 teaspoons turmeric powder, salt to taste, and 1 tablespoon of oil to the batter.

Mix everything well to ensure the batter is fluffy and well combined.

Check the consistency of the batter and add about half a cup of water if needed.

Prepare the steamer by adding water and bringing it to a boil.

Grease a plate with oil and pour the batter into it, ensuring not to fill it completely.

Steam the batter for 15 minutes.

In a small pan, heat 4-5 tablespoons of oil and add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds to it.

Once the mustard seeds splutter, add the chopped green chilies and turn off the heat.

Check the dhokla; if it is not sticking to the plate, it is ready.

Pour the tempering over the steamed dhokla and garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Cut the dhokla into pieces according to your preference.
