DAL DHOKLI

Dal dhokli is a gujarati dish.  This can be just had as it is or with rice, chapti too.  It is a wholesome meal to fill the stomach.

One of my Sindhi friend, she was basically from Baroda, makes this dish very awesome.  She gave me the same to eat one day and I liked it very much.  I asked her how to make and one day she demonstrated the entire process.

Let us look at the recipe now:
