Notes

  • The dal should be thin and watery in consistency before adding the dhoklis, because when u add the dhokli it will thicken up a lot.
  • You have to bring the dal to a rolling boil before u add dhokli in. Add it slowly. Don't add it in one go, then it will stick together.
  • Make sure you taste and adjust tamarind, salt and jaggery in the dal to get tasty dal.
  • You can make the dal and dhokli dough the day before and make dal dhokli the next day.
  • When cooking dal, you can add a handful of peanuts.
