Instructions
 

Prepare the Dhokli Dough

  • Grind rice, toor dal, and chana dal into a fine powder.
  • In a separate bowl, combine whole wheat flour and 2 tbsp oil. Rub the mixture with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add the ground dal mixture to the flour mixture. Mix well.
  • Incorporate salt, turmeric powder, baking soda, and yogurt. Knead into a smooth, firm dough.

Cook the Dhoklis

  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a pot.
  • Pinch off small portions of the dough and roll them into small, flat ovals (like small pancakes).
  • Carefully add the dhoklis to the boiling water. Cover the pot and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
  • Remove the cooked dhoklis with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Tadka Pani

  • Heat 2 tbsp oil in a small pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  • Add asafoetida and sesame seeds. Sauté briefly.
  • Stir in red chili powder. Pour this tempering into the remaining boiling water, and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.

Finish the Dish

  • Heat the remaining 2 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and sesame seeds; let them crackle.
  • Add the cooked dhoklis and toss gently to coat them with oil.
  • Add a pinch of salt (if needed). Serve the dhoklis accompanied by the Tadka Pani in small glasses or bowls. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for Perfect Dry Dhokli

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of cumin seeds along with the mustard seeds in the tadka.
  • Adjust the amount of red chili powder according to your spice preference. You can also add a few green chilies for extra heat.
  • If the dough is too dry, add a little more yogurt; if too sticky, add a little more flour.
  • For a richer flavor, you can roast the lentils before grinding them.
