  • Once the mixture has been prepared, keep it for 20 minutes
  • Take a wok and add water to it. Greese a container that you wish to prepare the dhokla in. Add a container that can fit into the wok into which you wish to prepare the dhokla. I use one aluminium container

  • Eno needs to be only added just before transferring the mixture to wok

  • Add curry leaves and let the mustard sputter
