- Pour the batter into the moulds (I used Cake Tin), making sure they are only half full.
- Put the moulds into the steamer, close the lid and steam for 30 minutes (Time may vary depending on quantity of batter, to ensure wether dhokla is cooked or not try inserting toothpick in middle of the dhokla. If it comes clean then dhokla is done).
- Remove the trays from the steamer and allow the dhoklas to cool.
For Tempering:
- Take a tempering pan, heat oil in it and then add mustard seeds, green chillies, curry leaves. Once mustard seeds crackles, add capsicums (red, yellow) and saute for 2-3 minutes and keep it aside.1 tbsp Oil, 1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds, 1/2 cup Red Capsicum, 1/2 cup Yellow Capsicum, 4-5 Curry Leaves
For Decorating Dhoklas:
