The taste was quite good but the batter was not cooked evenly. Even when I spread it out on thali, it was almost semi solid and not easy to spread evenly throughout the thali. Where could I have gone wrong? Can I steam it like dhokla instead of cooking in in a pan?

Hi, you can take a smaller thali to set it. Might be your thali too big make sure you cook it till it is thick and not till it forms a lump once it starts to leave the sides, immediately transfer on a greased plate. If you are going to steam, it will become like a dhokla.
