Gwar Dhokli | Cluster Beans Wheat Flour Dumpling Curry |

An awesome one pot meal | ಗೋರಿಕಾಯಿ ಗೋಧಿ ಹಿಟ್ಟಿನ ಧೊಕ್ಲಿ |

I’m here with yet another steamed dumpling curry – one of the traditional Gujarat and Rajasthan special dish. It is basically a spicy wheat flour dumpling cooked in cluster beans curry.

I made this Gwar dhokli or cluster beans wheat flour dumpling curry just once and it instantly became one of our most favorite dishes. So making it repeatedly now. Both I and my younger son really liked it very much .

Actually it should be eaten as such as it contains steamed wheat flour dumplings and vegetable gravy in it. And the best part is… it is a diabetic friendly recipe. If you like steamed roti, then relishing it is actually like eating steamed roti which is soaked/cooked in the subji/curry !

I learnt about this recipe in one of the food group on fb, but later modified as per our requirement. I have added ground(pureed) tomato which is optional. And I also tried making this curry using french beans in place of cluster beans, it also tasted equally good.

Ingredients : measuring cup used – 250 ml

For making Dhokli :

Whole wheat flour – 1/3 cup
Red chilli flakes/powder – 1/4 tsp
Oil – 1/2 tsp
Salt – 18 tp
Water to knead the dough

For making Curry/subji :

Ghee – 2 tsp
Mustard seeds – 1/4 tsp
Cumin seeds – 1 tsp
Cluster beans/gwar phali/gorikayi – 1 cup
Tomato – 2 medium sized (chop and puree it)
Groundnut – 1/4 cup (adjust)
Red chilli powder – 3/4 tsp (which gives color)
Turmeric powder – 1/2 tsp
Sesame seeds – 2 tsp
Coriander leaves – 1 tbsp
Salt to taste
Water to cook

PROCEDURE :

Gather All the ingredients under the heading “for making dhokli” , and knead into a soft dough
Divide into portions, and roll it by sprinkling little flour for dusting (do not make it too thin or thick, keep it medium)
Cut into small squares ( or you can make small dhoklis by pressing a small portions of it in between two fingers) and keep it ready

Heat oil/ghee in a cooker, add in mustard seeds, cumin seeds, sesame seeds, ground nut, turmeric powder and turmeric powder and stir until they splutter

Now add in cluster beans, pureed tomato, salt and water

When it start to boil, Put the dhoklis, close the lid and give it one whistle (in my cooker 1 whistle was enough, do it according to your requirement)
