Grease the plate to used for making dhokla nicely with some oil.
Add baking soda in the dhokla batter and well. Pour the batter in the plate and tap it on the surface to spread it evenly.
When water starts simmering, place a net stand inside it and place the plate over stand. Cover the vessel with a lid and keep the flame medium so that there is constant boil in the water but water should not spill out. Cook the dhokla for 20 minutes.
To check the dhokla, open the lid. Insert a knife, it should come out clean. Dhokla is now ready. Take out the dhokla from vessel and allow it to cool. Now run a knife all around the the dhokla to separate it from the plate. Place another plate over this plate and flip it up side down. Tap on the plate, dhokla gets easily separated from the plate.
