- Let it rest for 15-20 min.don’t move it otherwise the fermentation will be stopped.
- At this time we have to prepare our sugar syrup. For that take 1/2 cup of sugar,1 pinch of salt and 1, 1/2 cup of water in a bowl and boil it till the sugar dissolves.
- To make the tamarind chutney heat a pan.add 1/2 teaspoon of 5 spice mix and dry roast it for 1 minute.

- Now its time to make our dhokla.for that take a cake mould or a aluminium bowl.brush it with refined oil.
- Now pour all the mixture in it.
- Heat a pressure cooker and pour 1 cup of water in it.
- put a bowl stand in it the cooker filled with 1 cup water.now settle the cake mould / aluminium boul on the stand.
- Cover the cooker.remove whistle and let it cook for 15-20 minutes.
- After that remove the cover and put a toothpick in to check the dhokla.
- if it is properly cooked, the toothpick will get out clean . otherwise dhokla mixture will stick in it.in that case you have to cook it for another 5-10 minutes.
- Now we have to make our tempering which we will put over the dhokla. For that heat 2 tablespoon oil.
- Add 1 tablespoon mustard seeds, whole green chilies and curry leaves in.let them splutter.
- Now take the dhokla out of cooker and put the tempering over the dhokla and spread it well.

- You will see that the dhokla is soaking all the sugar syrup.don’t put much syrup otherwise the dhokla will start releasing the syrup.
- Now give it rest for 5 minutes and then take the pieces out in plate.pour some chutney on it and serve it with the fried green chilies. It will enhance the great taste of dhokla.
