4. Meanwhile, add the green chilli-ginger paste, salt and fruit salt and oil to the batter and mix well.
5. Pour the batter into prepared plates.
6. Place the plates in the steamer. Cover with the lid and steam for 8-10 minutes. Check with a skewer to see if the dhokla is almost cooked.
7. Spread a generous layer of green chutney and pour another layer of batter on top.
8. Steam for 10-12 minutes more.
9. Heat the remaining oil in a non-stick pan. Add the mustard seeds, asafoetida and curry leaves and green chillies. When the seeds stop spluttering, pour the tempering on the dhokla.
10. Cut into cubes and serve.
