2. Add all the Ingredients Ginger, chilli, turmeric powder, salt, sugar, oil and mix them properly into a smooth batter. Make sure there should be no lumps in it.

I forgot to cut dhokla before tempering so in the picture below i cutted after tempering and again i pour some temper on it. Always cut dhokla into pieces before tempering so that each dhokla gets coated well and becomes fluffy.

Dhokla is ready to serve.

Note:
