Transfer the paste into a bowl, add the salt, besan along with ¼ cup water and mix well to make a batter of pouring consistency.
Just before steaming, add the fruit salt and 2 tsp of water over the batter.
When the bubbles form, mix gently.
Pour the batter into a greased 175 mm. (7”) diameter thali and shake the thali clockwise to spread the batter in an even layer.
Steam in a steamer for 10 to 12 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked.
Heat the oil in a small pan and add the sesame seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves and green chillies and sauté on a medium flame for few seconds.
Pour this tempering over the dhoklas, cool slightly and cut into equal diamond shaped pieces.
Serve immediately with green chutney.
