Preparation

• Take a vessel or glass bowl and pour sooji/semolina in it. Also add a cup of quick oats to the sooji. Now pour the yogurt and mix well with hand so that there ar no lumps.
• Now add ajwain/carom seeds,turmeric,hing,grated ginger,green chilly pieces and salt to the batter and mix well. Now if water is required slowly add little water at a time and make it to idly batter consistency.
• Now add 2 teaspoons of oil to the batter and mix well. Let the batter rest for 20 minutes. While the batter is resting take a pan or pressure cooker fill it with 2 inches of water and bring it to a boil.
• Take the plate in which you are making the dhokla. Cut a piece of parchment paper the size of the plate and place it in the pan and spread little oil on the parchment so that the dhokla comes out clean and your plate is clean too.
• Now the water is ready so add the eno fruit salt to the batter and mix well. The batter starts to form bubbles. Pour it immediately into the plate that you lined up with parchment and tranfer the plates to the pan/pressure cooker with boiling water.
• Let it cook covered for 15 minutes on medium-high heat(cook it just like we do for idlis).If you are making it in a pressure cooker do not put the whistle. After 15 minutes switch off the stove and take the plates out and let them cool so that the dhokla comes out easily.
• While it is cooling let us prepare the seasoning for the dhokla.Place a pan on medium heat on the stove add oil ,mustard seeds and sesame seeds. Once they splutter add hing and switch off the stove. Once the dhokla has cooled down take it into into a serving plate and pour the seasoning over the dhokla and garnish with finely chopped cilantro.
