1 hour.Now add Eno/fruitsalt to the batter and mix it well.Now pour the batter to a cake pan/dhokla stand.We can also use the plate which we get with the cooker.Either u can use cooker or a flat pan  to steam this dhokla .The cakepan/plate should be greased before pouring the batter to it.
             If u are using a cooker dont put the whistle,add little water ,place the vessel,close the lid and cook it for 10 minutes.Same in the case of flat pan,once the water is boiled place the cakepan ,close the lid and steam for 10 minutes.
   
            Once it is steamed if we put a fork into this and if it comes out dry ,then our dhokla is ready.Allow it to cool for sometime.In mean time add oil to a pan ,when the oil is hot add mustard seeds,followed by green chillis and curry leaves.saute it well,our seasoning is ready .
              Now tranfer the dhokla into another plate and cut them into diamond shapes..Now decorate the dhoklas with our seasoning..

Its one of my favorite gujarathi snack..u can serve this yummy snack with mint chutney...
