Khaman dhokla with chutney

Ever since I remember, I love dhoklas...Just the thought of it makes my mouth water...:P..And I have always wanted to make it at home, so I can have it whenever I want to...hehehe...So tried it at home. The secret ingredient to be used is the Eno fruit salt for instant fermentation...here's what you'll need

Ingredients:
Besan/Chickpeas flour/Kadala Maavu - 1 cup
Curd (Well beaten) - 1 cup
Turmeric- a pinch
Ginger - 1 tbsp(grated or minced)
Green chillies- 3-4 chopped
Salt
Sugar - 1 tsp
Lemon juice - 2 tsp
Eno Fruit salt- 1 1/2 tsps

Seasoning:
Oil
Mustard seeds
Green chillies- slit (4-5)
Coriander leaves
Coconut- 1-2 tbsp
Lemon juice- 6 tbsps
Sugar- 1 tbsp

Procedure:
- In a wide vessel, add besan, curd, chillies, ginger, salt, sugar and turmeric. Mix well. There should be no lumps.
- Cover it and keep aside for about half an hour to an hour.
- Grease a steamer safe vessel with oil and boil about an inch of water.
- When the steam starts appearing, add in the Eno fruit salt to the besan mixture and mix well. You will see small bubbles and the mixture rises up.
- Spread the mixture on the greased steamer and steam for about 15 min.
-Meanwhile, for the seasoning, mix sugar in the lemon juice and keep aside.
- Fry little oil and add in mustard seeds, asafoetida, green chillies and let it splutter.
- Add this seasoning to the lemon juice-sugar solution.
-Once the dhokla is cooked well, take it out and cut into pieces.
-Garnish with coconut, coriander leaves and add the solution little by little on the dhokla, so it gets absorbed well.
-Wait for 10 min for the dhoklas to soak up the lemon-sugar solution and then enjoy.
