Preparation

• To make dhoklis, mix everything together and make a smooth dough. Avoid adding water to the dough and use more oil if required.
• Make small round balls and flatten them with your hands. Remove 4 to 5 dhoklis and keep them aside.
• In a pan heat about a tsp of oil, add in asafoetida, mustard seeds, cumin seeds and let them splutter.
• Now add in the cluster beans, washed and chopped. Add rest of the masalas and 1/2 cup of water.
• Cover and cook for 7 to 8 minutes. Once 90% done, slowly add in all the dhoklis one by one. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes. Smash the dhoklis which we had kept aside and stir in the curry, add in water if required.
• This helps to make the curry thick in consistency. Make sure you donot frequently stir the curry as it may break the dhoklis. Serve immediately with hot rotis.
