Dal - dhokli recipe
Notes:
  1. You can add ajwain|omam to the dhokli while kneading the dough.
  2. You can add the  peanuts while adding the toor dal . I wanted to add it in the last to make it attractive for pictures.
  3. When the dal dhokli is cooled it will be thick. So always serve it hot.
  4. You can add few drops of ghee while serving.
