Directions

It is an all-time favourite dish across generations in Gujrati families. Dal Dhokli is wholesome dish packed with proteins coming from the lentils (dal) and fiber coming from Dhokli’s.

Steps

For the Dhokli’s:
1 Done	Combine all the ingredients and prepare a semi-soft dough.
2 Done	Cover it with a wet cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3 Done	Divide the dough into 7 equal portions. Roll out thin chapatis and cut them into diamond shape. Keep them aside.
For the Dal:
1 Done	Ensure that the dal is boiled well. Using the back of a ladle, mash the dal slightly until it becomes little mushy.
2 Done	Heat the ghee in a kadai. Once it is hot, add cumin seeds and let them crackle.
3 Done	Now, add curry leaves and green chilies. Fry them a little on a medium flame.
4 Done	Add ginger and garlic paste and saute it on a medium flame until the raw flame goes away.
5 Done	It is now time to add finely chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, coriander seeds powder, salt. Let them cook until ghee separates from the masala.
6 Done	Now, add the dal and jaggery. Mix it well. Add a little water if the dal is thick. This is because it will thicken after adding the dhoklis.
7 Done	Let the dal boil for 5-7 minutes on medium to slow flame.
How to proceed with the Dhoklis:
1 Done	Add the Dhoklis one-by-one once the dal is cooked and let it boil on slow flame for about 7 minutes. Keep stiring it in between, otherwise the dhoklis will stick to the bottom.
2 Done	The dhoklis should have cooked by now.
3 Done	Switch off the flame and add lemon juice, coriander leaves.
4 Done	Serve immediately.
