This is a Maharashtrian fav snack. can be a side dish.. appetizer or T time special....very easy to make.. takes about 15 mins...You can make it a low Cal dish or a fried one.....Depends on one's choice....

You will need;

water as needed
dhokla stand.. grease the dhokla plates.. in a cooker keep three cups water for steaming...

Now in a Bowl add the cilantro leaves.. add the ginger garlic, chili powder, turmeric and coriander ans cumin powder.. mix well..add salt and sugar.. now add the flours...use water and mix well..till the mix is pourable consistency...In the well greased dhokla plates.. pour the batter and steam for 10-12 min or till the knife comes out clean...cut and make small pieces like dhokla...
Traditionally now you would nee dto deep fry.. but you can either shallow fry this or eat as is...
