  • Cut 300 grams of mooli leaves finely and slice the mooli into thin slices.
  • Wash both with water.
  • In a mixer jar, add 3-4 green chilies, 1-inch ginger, 7-8 garlic cloves, 1 tsp cumin seeds, and a pinch of salt.
  • Without adding water, coarsely crush the mixture and set it aside.

Mix well.
  • Add 5-6 tbsp of water and make a tight dough for dhokli.
  • Make small, thin dhoklis from the dough and set them aside.
  • In a pressure cooker, add 6-7 tbsp oil.
  • Add 2 tbsp of peanuts and fry them on medium flame. Remove them to a plate and set them aside.
  • In the remaining oil, add 1 tsp mustard seeds, 1 tsp cumin seeds, 2 dry red chilies, 1-inch cinnamon, 3-4 black peppercorns, 3 cloves, a pinch of hing, ½ tsp ajwain, and 3-4 curry leaves. Sauté well.
  • Add the chili-ginger-garlic paste and sauté.
  • Add the mooli leaves and mooli slices, spreading them in a thin layer.
  • Arrange the dhokli pieces on the mooli leaves.
  • Repeat the layers by adding mooli leaves and mooli slices, followed by dhoklis. Repeat this process 3 times, ensuring the top layer consists of mooli leaves and slices.
  • Cover the pressure cooker with its lid, but do not place the whistle.
  • Cook the mooli dhokli on a slow flame for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, add ½ cup chopped tomatoes, 1 tbsp red chili powder, 1 tbsp coriander powder, ½ tsp turmeric powder, salt to taste, 1 tsp garam masala, 1 tbsp white sesame seeds, fried peanuts, 1 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice.
  • Do not mix the masala; cover the pressure cooker lid and cook on a slow flame for another 10 minutes.
  • Open the lid, mix the masala well, and cover the cooker with a plate. Add some water to the plate and cook on a slow flame for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the plate and check if the dhokli and mooli are properly cooked.
  • Mooli dhokli is ready. Garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Serve hot with thepla and masala chaas.

Notes

  • The proportion of mooli leaves should be more than mooli.
  • Cut mooli into thin slices; do not cut them into thick slices.
  • Use coarse wheat flour for the dhokli dough. You can use regular wheat flour mixed with rava as an alternative.
  • Knead tight dough for the dhokli.
  • Make small, thin dhoklis.
  • Do not place the whistle on the cooker, as we want to cook mooli dhokli using steam.
  • Do not mix the masala. Cook on low flame for 10 minutes.
  • Mix the masala, cover with a plate, and add water to generate steam, ensuring the mooli dhokli cooks properly.
  • Muda ni dhokli taste great when it prepared spicy.
