Dal Dhokli

D

al dhokli is a Rajasthani delicacy which I've tasted first time at my friend's place in Bangalore. It is a delicious one pot meal. I've posted one more recipe like this and that is 'Varan phal', which is made by using Arhar dal  and the shape of dhokli is different too. That is rolled like a chapati and cut into  small diamond shaped pieces. you can call that Gujarati Dal dhokli. In Rajasthani Dal dhokli, moong dal is used and the shape of dhokli is round with a whole in the center. This is what I thinks about these two ,I may be wrong though.



Ingredients
Moong dal - 1/2 cup
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Salt - 1 1/2tsp
Coriander powder - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1tsp
Red chili powder - 1 tsp
Lemon juice - 1 tbsp
Hing - 1/8 tsp
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Oil - 1tbsp
Green chili (finely chopped) - 1
Garam masala - 1/4tsp
Water
Method - 
Cooking Dal
Wash dal and soak it for 30 mins. Put it in a pressure cooker with 2 cups of water. Add 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder and hing. Cook it till it gives 2 whistles.


Making Dhoklis
In a mixing bowl mix wheat flour, 1/2tsp salt, 1/2 turmeric powder, red chili powder and 1 tbsp oil. Knead the dough of paratha consistency. Divide the dough in 30 pieces and make small balls from them. Take a ball and flatten it between the palms. Make a whole with the finger in the center. Repeat the process for all the balls.



Open the cooker and add 2 cups of water and let it boil. Add dhoklies in it. Cover it and cook for another 2 whistles. Garnish with cilantro leaves.

Serve it with ghee, and papad.

  1. Nice one ..there is a slightly different Gujrati version of this dish too..where the dhoklis are thinner. I have tasted that one.
