Flour coins in Guar bean OR Gavar Sing ni Dhokli
By
Hemant Desai,
I learnt this classic recipe from my mom. It is typically part of Indian - Gujarat or Rajasthan cuisine.
It has a dual purpose. It is standalone main dish, and also as a curry or dal with steamed rice.
Typical preparation time which is cutting the beans and kneading the flour takes about
25 minutes.
And cooking typically takes
30 minutes, which is largely unattended, other than some stirring every 7-8 minutes to avoid any of the coins sticking to the vessel.
Ingredients:
- Wheat Flour, thick and granular ground
- Guar Beans
- Salt
- Turmeric Powder
- Ajwain
- Cumin Powder
- Sunflower Oil
- Water
Entire recipe is cooked by
boiling
Instructions:
- First boil gavar sing and then add salt, turmeric powder and ajwain.
- Add salt, turmeric powder, oil, cumin powder to Wheat flour.
The condiments must be added in proportion to the flour, obviously.
Knead dough softly, ensuring that it is not too dry and solid.
-
Once a well mixed soft dough is ready, flatten it with a rolling pin. The thinner the dough is rolled, the better will it cook.
- After flattening the dough, make small coins (or whatever shape you like) of this dough.
Heat some oil, add the boiled beans alongwith sufficient water.
After water is boiling, add salt, turmeric powder and the wheat coins.
Let it boil for some more time till the gravy is thick.
Many people also add gur and kokam to this. Additional spices like cardamom, cinnamom can be added as per your taste.
