Add water to make a thick, dropping consistency batter and keep it aside for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, prepare the steamer and grease two 8 inch steel plates or any moulds of choice with a little oil.
Add the fruit salt to the Dhokla batter, mix well and immediately pour the batter into the prepared plates/moulds.
