After it cools down, take out the dhokla from the plate and cut it into desired shapes. Heat oil in a kadahi. Add mustard seeds, kari patta and 2-3 sliced green chillies. Take 1 cup of water and add sugar. Put this in the kadahi and add dhokla. Mix well. Take it out in a tray and garnish with chopped coriander and grated coconut. Serve hot with coconut chutney or coriander chutney.

 

STEAMING PROCESS

 

Boil 2 cups of water in a pressure cooker. Place a stand about 2-3" high in the center of the cooker and keep the plate containing the mixture on the stand so that the plate does not dip in the water. Remove the whistle and put the lid on. Take out the plate after 20 minutes.

Serves: 6-7 adults.
