Dal Dhokli is a wellknown dish in every Gujarati, Marwari and Maharashtrian household. This one pot meal is healthy as well as fulfilling.
It is one Indian comfort food that we all love specially on winter and rainy evenings. This is desi version of pasta and can be prepared in both Jain and regular versions. Its soup like consistency, tenderness of dhokli and crunchiness of peanuts makes it one of choicest meals on a lazy Sunday supper. Serve it piping hot with a dallop of ghee for extra desi flavours.
