Cover and keep aside.Heat oil for the seasoning mustard,curry leaves and green chillies.Cut the dhokla add to the seasoning.Enjoy.

I am writing two methods to do these dhokla..

Mix together besan, salt, 1 tbsp oil, 1 tbsp lime juice, green chillies and water. Start with 3/4 cup water. It should be a thick batter that goes drip drip drip from the spatula rather than of a pouring consistency.
Put a large vessel or pressure cooker with about 3 cups water on the stovetop to heat. Grease a round pan or pressure cooker insert vessel, (we like a round of parchment at the bottom as additional insurance).
Add the Eno to the batter, put into the vessel, and steam. Do not use the weight if using a pressure cooker.
Keep it for 7 minutes after you get a forceful jet of steam.
(about 17 minutes total) Turn off the flame, let it rest for 2 minutes, and test with a toothpick. If using a regular steaming contraption with a wire mesh and pan, cover and check after 15 minutes or so.
For Seasoning:
Heat remaining oil, add mustard seeds and curry leaves. When the mustard seeds pop, turn off the flame.
Let the dhokla rest for 3 minutes after steaming, then take it out and cut it into pieces.
Mix together 2 tbsps. HOT water, sugar and lime juice until the sugar dissolves. Pour into the seasoning.
Pour it over the dhoklas.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot.
