Easiest and Tasty Dhokla Ever

You will need

• 2 cups besan (chickpea flour) , 
• 1 Glass water
• 1 Tbsp Sugar
• 4 Green Chillies finely chopped, 
• 1 Tbsp  Freshly squeezed lemon juice, 
• 1/2 tspn Turmeric powder, salt to taste.
• 1 cup fresh coconut grated  
• 2 Tbsp oil 
• 2 Tbsp mustard seeds
• 1/4 tsp  asafoetida(heeng)
• Curry leaves 
• Coriander leaves
• For the lemon -sugar syrup: 1/4 cup water, Juice of lemon, 1 tblspn sugar. Just mix it all together.

 Let's begin

1. Mix the Besan and Water to form a smooth batter. Add salt and sugar and give it a good stir. Taste the batter. It should be sweet and salty all at once. Batter should have a smooth consistency.
2. Grease a steel vessel that goes into your pressure cooker. Place this vessel (you can cake tin which fits in cooker) in the cooker and place the cooker on the gas stove. After the water in the cooker begins to boil add the Eno to the Dhokla batter, stir again quickly, you will immediately see the batter rising.
3. Now quickly pour this batter into the cooker vessel and put on the cooker lid. Steam the Dhokla for 8 to 10 mins without pressure. 
4.  After 10 mins open the cooker ,check with a fork it should come out clean and  let the Dhokla rest for a while.
5. When it is warm to touch mark out the slices with a sharp and well oiled knife. 
6. Make a sugar syrup and pour over the marked slices. The syrup is absorbed by the Dhokla making it extremely moist from the inside unlike shop-bought dhoklas which are terribly dry from within. 
7. Now Prepare the tempering by adding the mustard, asafoetida and curry leaves to hot oil. Cool it and then spoon this over the Dhokla. Garnish with fresh coriander, chilies and fresh grated coconut.
