* 2 tsp sugar
* ½ tsp turmeric powder
* 1 tsp lime or lemon juice
* 2 tsp baking soda

* 2 tbsp cooking oil
* 1 tsp black mustard seeds
* 1 tsp sesame seeds
* 6 – 8 curry leaves
* 2 green chiles slit lengthwise
* ½ cup warm water

* ½ cup finely chopped fresh coriander leaves
== Directions ==
# Sieve the besan.
# Mix it with the yoghurt and keep aside for 2 hours.
# Add the ginger and green chile pastes, turmeric powder, salt to taste, lime juice and sugar and enough warm water to make a batter of pouring consistency.
# Mix well.
# Divide the batter into 3 equal portions.
# Prepare the steamer and grease a square/ rectangular pan to steam the dhokla in.
# Divide the baking soda into 3 equal portions and add one portion to a portion of the batter.
# Mix well.
# Pour this batter into the greased dish and put it into the steamer.
# Cook till done - when you touch the surface of the dhokla your fingers should come away clean.
# Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the fruit salt/ baking soda to each batch of batter just before steaming.
# Allow the steamed dhokla to cool slightly and cut into 2" squares.
# To temper, heat the oil in a wide, thick-bottomed pan and add the curry leaves, mustard and sesame seeds and green chillies.
# Fry till the seeds stop sputtering.
# Pour these into the warm water.
# Sprinkle this mixture all over the prepared dhokla.
# Keep aside for 10 minutes.
# Garnish with the chopped coriander and serve with tamarind chutney and mint-coriander chutney.
