One Pot Dal Dhokli Recipe | Traditional Gujarati Dal Dhokli Recipe

Traditional Gujarati Dal Dhokli Recipe | One Pot Dal Dhokli Recipe with Video: Dal dhokli is a famous traditional Gujarati recipe made with dal and wheat flour. Dal in English is lentil and dhokli is dumpling so you can also call dal dhokli as lentil soup with wheat flour dumplings.

Dal dhokli is simple, healthy, easy to make and complete meal in itself. You can server it as soup and perfect for rainy season or winters. Typically dal dhokli is made without veggies but sometimes I also add chopped veggies like spinach, carrots and beans to make it even healthier. Here I have used toor dal (split pigeon peas) to make dal dhokli but you can also use mix of toor dal and dhuli moong dal (split green gram) half and half. Also I have added kokum to give dal dhokli nice sour taste. As a substitute you can also use tamarind juice or tamarind paste.

Dal dhokli can also be made with leftover dal. For that just boil dal (add water if it is too thick), add dhoklis and tadka and your lunch or dinner is ready in no time. I have also posted few other recipes that can be made with leftover food like roti cheela , egg tortilla, egg paratha roll, left over boondi ladoo kheer. Do try them as well.
