Methi Dhokli

Most Gujarati/Rajasthani people have heard of Daal Dhokli. The idea is to cook square flat pieces of atta (flour) in a Daal preparation. Methi dhokli is something similar: You cook square flat pieces of atta in a methi curry! I personally love this preparation :D

Ingredients:

3 cups chopped methi
2 cups wheat flour
3-4 green chilies (chopped)
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 tsp rai (musturd seeds)
1/4 tsp jeera (cummin seeds)
salt to taste
1 tsp oil for atta and 1 tsp oil for tadka

Preparation:

1. In a bowl, take the flour, 1 cup chopped methi, 2 chopped green chilies, 1 tsp oil and salt to taste. Knead the flour with minimal amount of water, so that it is easy to flatten the kneaded flour.
2. Once the flour is kneaded, flatten the flour on a plate using a rolling pin, to a thickness of about 3 mm and cut into small rectangular pieces. Keep the pieces aside, in a manner that they don't stick to each other.
3. In a pan, take 1 tsp oil and add rai and jeera to it for tadka.
4. Add chopped green chilies (about 2), minced garlic, salt and the remaining chopped methi. Add 2-3 cups of water and let the methi cook.
5. When the water starts boiling, add the rectangular cut pieces of kneaded flour to the mixture and let it cook for 7-10 minutes. Stir occasionally. If at any point you think the flour is sticking to pan, or the water is too less for it to cook well, add a cup of water to the mixture.
6. When the flour seems well cooked, the dhokli is ready!
7. Serve is a bowl, with a tsp of ghee for taste.

p.s.: For BB who might want to cook this sometime and can't find me on the phone :P
