Dal dhokli is a very delicious Gujarati cuisine and one pot meal. Wheat flour dough pieces are simmered in gurajathi dal, which gives a unique flavor and filling meal. It doesn’t need any accompaniment, the whole dish gives your entire satisfy. Add of peanuts gives crunchy in between the soft dhokli pieces. I would say in South style as Sambhar Chapathi. Yes! It’s similar to chapathi soaked in sambhar but will give a different flavor and taste.   




The dal dhokli will be nutritious because of dal and whole grain benefits at the one pot meal. It’s friendly recipe for kids or aged people. As it has mild spicy and soft in texture. The excess dal will be served with white rice will give your unique taste. I altered some of the ingredients to my choice. It looks time-consuming method, but don't worry its not tough, easy to prepare and totally worth to try the healthy treat.   Now check out the recipe,

  • Now increase the flame into higher, while the dal mixture boils, slowly add the diamond shaped pieces into it. Don’t stir it immediately and do not overload the pieces, hence it will be sticky to each other.
  • After 1-2 minutes, add the next batch pieces and stir occasionally in between.

NOTE
  • Garlic is optional; personally I love the garlic flavor, so I added. But you can avoid garlic to make No garlic No onion dal recipe.
  • Peanuts give crunchy taste and flavor to the dal, so I recommend to add it.
  • Adjust the spiciness according to your preference.
  • While cooking, if the dal becomes thickened, add little water to loosen them.
  • Add dhokli pieces one by one, to prevent coagulation with other pieces.
  • In the original recipe, whole spices added while tempering, but I added garam masala powder at the last in dal mixture.
  • In traditional, kokum will be added to the dal, but I don’t have kokum so I used tamarind water or you can use lemon juice.
