‘With dal dhokli, I have scalded my tongue but satisfied my palate every single time’
The HinduChildhood memories are incomplete without food. One such dish that brings a smile to my face is dal dhokli, a traditional lentil stew with strips of diamond-shaped dough simmering in it. Traditional Gujarati dal dhokli has jaggery, lemon juice, cinnamon and clove for its tongue-tickling flavour. Some make it with whole wheat flour mixed with turmeric, chilli powder and dhania-jeera powder, while others add besan or chickpea flour to it as well. Sunday Recipe Ingredients For dhokli 1 cup whole wheat flour ¼ tsp turmeric ½ tsp chilli powder 1 tsp dhania-jeera powder 1 tbsp oil Water to bind For the dal ½ cup toor dal 1½ cup water ½ tsp turmeric ½ tsp chilli powder ½ tsp dhania-jeera powder 1 tsp ghee 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds Some curry leaves Handful of peanuts ½ lemon Pinch of hing/ asafoetida Small piece of jaggery ½ tsp garam masala or chai masala Salt to taste Coriander to garnish Method 1.
