Soak moong dal in water for 4-6 hours or overnight.

Drain and rinse the soaked moong dal.

Blend the moong dal with ginger, green chili, and water until smooth.

Transfer the mixture to a bowl and add salt, turmeric powder, lemon juice, and sugar; mix well.

In a small pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds, allowing them to splutter.

Add curry leaves and asafoetida to the oil; sauté for a few seconds.

Pour the tempered oil mixture into the dal batter and mix thoroughly.

Add baking soda to the batter and mix gently until combined.

Grease a steaming tray or plate with oil.

Pour the batter into the greased tray, spreading it evenly.

Steam the batter in a steamer for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.

Check doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

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

Cut the dhokla into squares or diamonds and garnish with coriander leaves.

Serve warm with green chutney or sweet chutney.
