How to make Oats dhokla with step by step images

In a blender add oats and grind it into fine powder.
Now in a bowl add ground oats powder, sooji, salt, sugar and curd. Mix well now add 1/3 cup water in it and mix well again. Heat water in a steamer and grease dhokla pan.
Now add oil and eno fruit salt in it and mix well, immediately you will notice the mixture getting frothy and bubbling. Now add this mixture in the greased dhokla pan.
Place the dhokla pan in steamer and steam it for 15 minutes. Now remove it from steamer and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Now invert the dhokla pan and keep the dhokla ready to add tempering. ( Inverting the pan is my choice if, you can skip this step if you don’t like)
Now heat oil in a small pan add mustard seeds, after it splutters add cumin seeds after it crackles add curry leaves and green chili in it and put off the flame. Now pour this tempering over cooked dhokla and garnish it with cilantro. Now run a knife and slice the dhokla into desired shapes and serve it.
