Grease a tin with oil. Mix the Eno or fruit salt and sprinkle little water on top of it. As soon as the bubble arises fold it gently. Pour it into the greased tin.
Steam for 15-20 mins. Check if it's done by inserting a skewer into the middle just like to do for a cake.
In a small pan heat 1 tbsp oil. Add the black mustard seed. Sauté till it starts to crackle.,
Add the asafoetida, sesame seeds and curry leaves. Sauté for 30 seconds and add 3-4 tbps water. Let it come to a boil.
Pour it evenly over the cooked Dhokla and cover it. Let it cool. Cut into squares
Serve it with chutney.
