In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, yogurt, water, ginger paste, green chili paste, and salt. Mix well and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Immediately pour the batter into the greased pan and place it in a steamer or a pressure cooker without a whistle.
Steam the dhokla for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once done, allow it to cool for a few minutes before cutting it into squares.
