Recipe Instructions . Make the Dhokli 1. In a mixing bowl, combine besan and regular atta. 2. Add turmeric powder, Kashmiri mirchi powder, salt, ajwain, baking soda, and 1 tsp of oil. 3. Sprinkle water gradually as required and knead it into a stiff dough. 4. Apply a little oil to your hands, take small portions from the prepared dough, and roll them into small cylinder shapes. Cut them into small dhoklis. 5. Lightly coat the cut dhoklis with a little oil so they do not stick to each other, and set them aside. . Prepare the Sabzi 1. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and white sesame seeds. 2. Once they crackle, add hing, haldi powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Fry the dry masalas well on a slow flame. 3. Add the freshly pounded ginger, garlic, and green chili paste. Fry this paste along with the masalas. 4. Add the chopped fresh chawli, 3/4 cup of water, salt to taste, and the finely chopped tomato. 5. Mix everything well, cover the pan with a lid, and let the chawli cook for about 50% on a medium flame. . Combine and Simmer 1. Open the lid and gently drop in the prepared dhoklis. 2. Cover the pan again, lower the heat, and let the dhokli cook with the chawli for 7-8 minutes. 3. Once the dhokli is fully cooked and soft, check the gravy. You can adjust the water consistency here as required. 4. Finally, add a small piece of jaggery, mix well so it melts into the gravy, and turn off the heat. . Garnish and Serve 1. Right before serving, squeeze the juice of one fresh lime over the sabzi. 2. Garnish generously with fresh coriander leaves. 3. Enjoy this hearty sabzi with Bajra or Jowar roti, or pair it beautifully with steaming hot rice and a dollop of ghee! .
