Cooking Steps
To make the Dhokli, in a mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and mix well. Add water little by little, kneading to form a soft dough.
Divide the dough into small balls and flatten them into thin circles (like chapatis).
Heat water in a large pot and add the dhokli circles. Boil for 5-7 minutes until the dhoklis are cooked. Drain and set aside.
To make the dal, wash and soak the toor dal for 30 minutes.
Pressure cook the dal with 2 cups of water, turmeric powder, and salt for 3-4 whistles, or until the dal is cooked and soft.
In a separate pan, heat oil and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafoetida. Let them splutter.
Add red chili powder, and salt. Mix well and cook for 5-7 minutes.
Add the cooked dal to the spices mixture and mix well. Add water if required to adjust the consistency of the dal.
Bring the dal to a boil and add the cooked dhoklis. Mix well and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the flavors are well blended.
Serve hot.
