Others:

Method:

1) Mix together the rava/semolina, curd, water (approximately 1 cup) and salt and soak it for 15 minutes (if you have more time you can soak it for upto an hour).

2) Now to this rava/semolina mixture add chopped green chilies, ginger paste, red chilli powder, onions and coriander leaves and mix well (if required at this stage you can add some more water around 4-5 tbsp). The batter should be bit thick and not too flowly. Lastly add the eno/fruit salt to this batter and mix it well.
3) Now, depending upon the size of your steamer, heat sufficient water in it. Then grease 1 round steel dhokla plate and pour the prepared batter into the plate. Carefully place the plate in the steamer. Cover and steam for 15 minutes. Remove from the steamer and set it aside (if you do not have dhokla steamer use a thali having sides). You can even use your cake mould.
4) If your using oven preheat the oven for 5 minutes and cook for 15 minutes at 180 degrees.

5) Boil the water for sugar syrup and add the sugar in it and dissolve the sugar. You do not need to make any string consistency just the sugar needs to dissolve.
