Wash palak leaves in water and drain them completely in a colander.
Take green chilies and ginger along with spinach/palak in a mixer and grind it to a fine paste, without adding water.
Take this in a bowl, add rest of the ingredient, except the baking soda ,and mix well adding water to make a thick batter.
Just before steaming, add the baking soda. Give it a brisk stir
Pour the batter immediately into a greased thali. I used my stainless steel bowls for steaming. You can also use flat plates.
Steam for 12 to 15 minutes or till the dhoklas are cooked. Once steamed, remove the bowls/plate carefully from the steamer and keep aside.

Heat the oil in small pan and add the mustard seeds. When the seeds crackle, add the sesame seeds, and asafoetida, mix well and sauté on a medium flame for a second, while stirring continuously
Remove from the flame, add 2 tablespoon of water and mix well. Pour the tempering over the dhoklas.Cool slightly and cut into equal pieces.
