Cluster (Guvar) Beans and Dhokli

The combination of Guvar (Cluster beans) with Dhokli is very uncommon but because of presence of Ajwain and Garlic it adds flavour to the curry which you will never forget. This is my one of the best experiment and believe me its awesome.

Ingredients:
Cluster (Guvar) Beans - 2 cups (cut into pieces)
Tomato - 1 medium finely chopped
Garlic cloves - 2 big finely chopped
Ajwain seeds - 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
A pinch of Asafoetida (Hing)
Salt to taste
Oil - 1 1/2 tbsp

For Dhokli:
Besan - 3 tbsp
A pinch of Salt, Turmeric powder and Red chilli powder
A little Oil

Method:

For Dhokli:
Mix all the ingredients and make a dough by using a very little water. The dough consistency should be slightly harder than chapati dough.

For making curry:
Heat the oil in a pan and add ajwain seeds. Once seeds starts to cook, it will release an aroma, then add hing. After few seconds add cluster beans with some water. Add chilli, turmeric powder and salt then saute the beans for 3 to 4 mins on medium heat to make beans little crunchy. Then cover the pan and cook on low heat for around 5 mins, until the beans becomes soft, add some more water to ensure cluster beans don't get dry. We want to steam the beans not boil. Now add chopped tomatoes and garlic in the curry and mix it well.

Now we add dhokli by taking a marble size piece of dhokli dough and flatten with fingers and thumb. Press to form a small circle and add in the curry. Cover the pan and cook for around 10 mins on low heat. May need to keep adding some more water. Dhoklis tend to thicken the curry as it cooks, so be mindful that the curry should not be watery but moist.

Once the dhoklis are cooked the curry is ready to have it. Serve with Chapatis or Rice. Enjoy!!!
