About Dal dhokli

Dal Dhokli is a traditional dish from Gujarati and Rajasthani cuisine in India, often enjoyed as a wholesome comfort food. It consists of nutritious lentil stew (dal) made with pigeon peas (toor dal), flavored with spices like turmeric, cumin, mustard seeds, and tamarind, paired with soft wheat flour dumplings (dhokli). This one-pot dish is typically sweet, tangy, and spicy, with a balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fiber. Lentils pack essential nutrients such as folate, iron, and magnesium, while the whole wheat dumplings contribute to sustained energy and digestive health. Dal Dhokli can be low in fat, depending on preparation, but its calorie content may rise if additional oil or sugar is used. Rich in plant-based protein and vitamins, it is a vegan-friendly and gluten-free meal when made with appropriate flour substitutes. Ideal for a nourishing lunch or dinner, Dal Dhokli is a heartwarming and nutrient-rich choice.
