Daal Dhokli

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the toor dal thoroughly and soak it in water for about 30 minutes.

2. 2

   In a pressure cooker, add the soaked dal, 4 cups of water, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook until the dal is soft and mushy.

3. 3

   While the dal is cooking, prepare the dough for the dhokli. In a bowl, mix whole wheat flour, a pinch of salt, and a little water to form a soft dough. Let it rest for 10 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll out the dough into thin sheets and cut them into diamond shapes.

5. 5

   In a pan, heat oil and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they splutter, add ginger-garlic paste, chopped green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté for a minute.

6. 6

   Add the cooked dal to the pan along with red chili powder, jaggery, and peanuts. Mix well and bring it to a boil.

7. 7

   Gently add the dhokli pieces into the boiling dal. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

8. 8

   Let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the dhokli is cooked through.

9. 9

   Add lemon juice and adjust salt to taste.

10. 10

    Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
