Gujarati cuisine is mainly a vegetarian cuisine. A typical Gujarati thali, apart from other items, contains a traditional delicacy called Dal Dhokli (dumpling cooked in lentil curry). Dal Dhokli is known to have originated from the state of Gujarat, although few people believe that the dish belongs to Rajasthan. This dish is also popular in Maharashtra and many other states in India.
Dal Dhokli is actually a variation of dal and roti, which is the healthy staple diet of the masses in India. Usually Dal is cooked separately based on taste preference and Roti is prepared separately. Both of these things are served as a single Dal and Roti dish, while Dal Dhokli is a one pot dish, which is flavored with a variety of spices and seasonings making it delicious and completely healthy. It is made with pieces of seasoned dough (wheat flour) cooked in lentils and topped with a striking temperado, lemon juice and fresh coriander leaves. The lentil sauce is first made to a runny/soupy consistency and then the meatballs are added and further cooked to a spicy consistency as a delicious and delicious dish.
Dal Dhokli can be prepared in different flavor variations according to people’s taste and like typical dal roti, it is rich in protein, iron, calcium and dietary fiber. The dish is a healthy and nutritious meal that offers enough nutrition to the body. It is also a good source of nutrition for all age groups, including children, and can be served alone as a meal.
Sometimes people find it difficult to prepare Dal Dhokli due to lack of time or experience in preparing this dish. They may have many alternatives like junk food or fast food, which are easily available as a food option, but they still want home made dishes like Dal Dhokli/Daal and Roti. Those looking for an easier and more convenient version of Dal Dhokli can now opt for the Ready to Cook Actchawa Indian Daal Rotii, which is a simple two-minute recipe available as a packaged meal.
