- To make methi dal dhokli, heat the ghee in a deep pan and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds, curry leaves, cloves, cinnamon, bayleaf, small round chillies and asafoetida. Sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add cooked dal, peanuts, 1 cup of water, kokum, tomatoes, turmeric powder, green chillies, chilli powder, ginger, jaggery and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes on a medium flame.
- Just before serving, add the dhoklis and cook it on a medium flame for 15 minutes, while stirring it occasionally.
- Switch off the flame, add the lemon juice and garnish with coriander. Mix well and serve methi dal dhokli hot.
Handy tips:
- Add the dhoklis one by one into the dal as otherwise they could form one big lump.
- To get 3 cups of cooked toovar dal, take ½ cup washed raw dal in a pressure cooker, add 3 cups of water and pressure-cook it for 3 whistles. Whisk well.
