Dal dhokli

Makeover Recipe – 7

Dal Dhokli

I never liked having dal & roti ...So most of the time i would just skip having my dinner.. Then my mom started making this dal dhokli just for me..Though i didn’t like to have roti & dal i definitely loved this dal dhokli. Usually my mom makes this with the leftover dal from the lunch. My nephew named this dish as Indian Pasta J

 Ingredients :

Dal – 1 cup

Chapati Dough – for 3 chapathi

Water – 3 cups

1 onion

Ajwain – 1 spoon

Hing a pinch

Chilli Powder – ¼ tsp

Cumin Powder – ¼ tsp

Salt for taste.

Butter / ghee for serving

Coriander leaves for garnishing

Method :

1)    In a big kadai / saucepan add a tsp of oil. Let it heat then add the ajwain.

2)    After ajwain splutters add the onion & fry till translucent. Add hing & sauté.

3)    Then add the dal & all the spices & water & let it cook on simmer.

4)    Meanwhile roll the chapatti dough into a round disk & cut them into 1 inch squares & put then in to the dal.

5)    Let them cook till the mixture turns into thick consistency & the chapati dough is cooked with the dal really good.

6)    Take this dal dhokli in a bowl , add a dallop of ghee & garnish with coriander leaves & serve hot.

Note

1) Instead of Ajwain you can add cummin seeds. It will still taste as good.
2) My mom used to  add some sambhar powder too. But i like it without them.
3) You can add some ginger - garlic paste while sauteing onions.
