1 cup besan (bengal gram flour)
1 tsp ginger-green chilli paste
2 tbsp powdered sugar
1/2 tsp citric acid crystals
1/3 cup grated paneer (cottage cheese)

2 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
2 tbsp grated paneer (cottage cheese)

Method
Combine all the ingredients, except the fruit salt, in a bowl, add water (approximately ½ cup) and mix well to make a batter of dropping consistency.
Just before steaming, add the fruit salt and add 2 tsp of water over it.
When the bubbles form, mix gently.
Pour the batter immediately into a greased  thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread it to make an even layer.
Steam for 10 to 12 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked. Keep aside.
Heat the oil in small pan and add the mustard seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the urad dal, green chillies and asafoetida, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for a second.
Remove from the flame, add 1 tbsp of water and mix well. Pour the tempering over the dhoklas.
Cool slightly and cut into equal pieces. Serve immediately garnished with coriander and paneer. Always use your hands while mixing the batter to break the lumps.
to make 1 cup green peas mashed, blend 1 ½ cup of fresh green peas in a mixer till smooth.
