STEP 7.Takeout plates from steamer and let them cool for few minutes. Cut fluffy khaman dhokla into small squares using knife.
STEP 8.Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a small pan or tempering pan. Add1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds and a pinch of asafoetida (hing). When seeds begin to crackle, add 1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon sesame seeds, 10-15 curry leaves and 4 green chillies. Sauté them for few seconds.
