1 cup Curd
1 tbsp Ginger-Green Chilli Paste
1 tbsp Ginger Paste
1 tbsp Garlic Paste
as needed Water
to taste Sugar
to taste Salt
1 piece Eno fruit salt
For the Garlic Chutney Layer:
9 cloves Green Garlic Cloves
1 piece Red Chilli Powder
1 tbsp Sugar
to taste Salt
1 tsp White Vinegar
1 tbsp Kashmiri Red Chilli Powder
as needed Water
For the Tempering:
2 tbsp Oil
1 tsp Sesame Seeds
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
1 tsp Cumin Seeds

Instructions
Step 1— Prepare the Dhokla Batter
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine semolina (suji), curd (yogurt), green chilli paste, ginger paste, and garlic paste.
2
Gradually add water to achieve a smooth, spreadable consistency that is not too runny.
3
Mix in sugar and salt according to your preference, stirring well to combine.
Step 2— Prepare the Garlic Chutney
1
In a blender, combine garlic cloves, bell pepper (or red whole chillies), sugar, salt, white vinegar, and Kashmiri red chilli powder.
2
Add a splash of water and blend until you achieve a smooth, vibrant red paste.
3
Set a portion of the main dhokla batter aside and mix in a generous amount of this garlic chutney to create your spicy middle layer.
Step 3— Steam the Dhokla Layers
1
Prepare your steamer and grease a deep pan (at least 1 inch deep).
2
First Layer: Mix a portion of the plain batter with a bit of Eno fruit salt, whisking in one direction. Pour it into the greased pan, spread evenly, and steam for 5 minutes.
3
Middle Layer: Mix the garlic-infused batter with Eno fruit salt and pour it over the first layer. Spread evenly and steam for another 5 minutes.
4
Third Layer: Mix the final portion of plain batter with Eno fruit salt, spread it over the garlic layer, and steam for 5 to 7 minutes.
5
Check for doneness by inserting a knife; if it comes out clean, the dhokla is ready.
Step 4— Tempering and Serving
1
Once the dhokla has cooled slightly, prepare the tempering (tadka). Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, sesame seeds, cumin seeds (jeera), and chopped green chillies.
2
Once the seeds crackle, pour the tempering evenly over the dhokla.
3
Cut the dhokla into square or diamond-shaped pieces.
4
Serve as is, or for a crispy twist, grill the pieces on a tawa before serving.
