• If you are using a pressure cooker, to steam the dhokla, then remove the whistle from the lid.
• Steam and cook the dhokla batter on a medium flame for 20  minutes.
• After 20 minutes when the dhokla gets cooked, a knife or toothpick inserted in the center of dhokla should come out clean.
• When cooked, remove the dhokla pan from heat and let it cook down a little on room temperature ,in spite keep it a little  warm.
• Then place a plate on top of the dhokla pan and turn upside down. Tap the pan and the dhokla will gently slip on the plate.

How to make Dhokla batter

1. In a vessel sieve the gram flour. Filtering the gram flour ensures mildness, this avoids forming lumps while adding water.

                                        

                         

2.Now add the salt, sugar and turmeric powder in the batter and mix it well. Ensure you add a little turmeric powder only, otherwise this batter with turn red in color when we will add baking soda to it.

                                            

                  

                                          

              

 3.Now it's time to make the batter of our gram flour. While mixing add little water in parts and stirring it with a spoon, make a smooth and thick batter. Ensure no lumps are formed in the batter.

                                              

               

                                            

4.Cover the batter and leave it for 10 minutes, so that the gram flour gets soaked well.

                                                      

        

5.In same time before pouring the dhokla batter in the cake tray or plate(in which you are going to cook dhokla),grease its inner surface evenly with oil and make it smooth.

                                            

                                                

6. After 10 minutes open the cover of dhokla batter, you will find that the batter has become much thicker.

                                        

7.To make dhokla batter fluffy, sprinkle the 1tsp baking soda over this batter with a spoon rotating in a circular motion, at high speed. This process will help to form the air bubble in the mixture. Now we will turn this batter into sponge batter.

                                            

8. Immediately transfer the mixture to the greased  plate and level the top of the mixture with a spatula or spoon.
