Dal Dhokli

Hello again from Guzu land!! :P


After the successful Dal Parathas, am back with one more dal dish - Dal Dhokli!! I first had DD when I went to Rajdhani for dinner one night, and fell in love with it. It just...melts...in your mouth. So, sharing the recipe of this delectable baby with you :)


Don't get bogged down by the long list of ingredients - trust me, it is worth the effort!!


You'll need:


* 250 gm tuvar dal
* 200 gm flour
* 3 green chilies
* 50 gm groundnuts
* 25 gm cashew nuts
* 1 tbsp turmeric powder
* 1 tbsp mustard seeds
* 4 cloves
* 2 cinnamon sticks
* 2 tomatoes (pulp)
* 1 tbsp tamarind
* 100 gm brown sugar
* 1 tbsp garam masala
* 5 tbsp cooking oil
* 2 tbsp red chili powder
* 1/2 cup cilantro leaves
* 4 tbsp ghee
* Salt
* Heeng
* Cloves
* Curry leaves


1. Take the flour, and add salt, 1/2 tbsp turmeric powder, heeng & 1 tbsp red chili powder. Mix them well, add 2 tbsp oil & knead it for roti-like consistency.


2. Now, wash the tuvar dal, and pressure cook it for 3 whistles. Let it cool and then remove.


3. Then, heat 3 tbsp oil & the ghee in a pot, followed by cloves, cinnamon sticks & mustard seeds. When this begins to crackle, add the curry leaves, green chilies & asfoetida. Then pour the tuvar dal.


4. Now, add the tamarind, brown sugar, cashew nuts, ground nuts, garam masala, 1 tbsp red chili powder, water & mix well.


5. Then, add the tomato pulps, 1/2 tbsp turmeric powder, salt & 2 cups of water, and bring to a boil.


6. After this, roll out big rotis from the dough, cut them into diamond-shaped pieces & add to the dal. Boil for 10 min & remove from flame.


DD done. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves, and serve warm, with love :)
