Gujarati Dal Dhokli

Instructions

1. 1

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

   In a large pot, add the soaked moong dal and 3 cups of water. Bring it to a boil and then simmer until the dal is cooked and soft.

   In a separate pan, heat ghee and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.

6. 6

   Add garlic paste, chopped green chilies, turmeric powder, red chili powder, and coriander powder. Sauté for a minute.

   Add this tempering to the cooked dal along with jaggery and salt. Mix well.

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