Add the lemon juice. Many people even use citric acid instead to make the khaman dhokla, it is totally upto you.
Add the salt and approx. ¾ cup of water.

Mix lightly so that the air bubbles do not escape.
Pour the mixture immediately to a greased 175 mm. (7") diameter thali and spread evenly by rotating the thali clockwise.
