- For the tempering, heat the oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add cumin, asafoetida, curry leaves, and green chilies. Fry for a minute.
- Pour the tempering over the dhokla, making sure it is evenly distributed.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and grated coconut.
- Sprinkle lemon juice over the dhokla.
