Lentil pasta - dal dhokli

Pasta and macaroni Italian cuisine

One of my favorite dish. This dish is so common and authentic to Gujarati culture but yet not famous or well known amongst others. It is proper home cooked meal not found in restaurants. No one could make this dish, the way my neighbor aunty Geeta used to make every Sunday. It is one dish with two different components which is so fulfilling. Although , my mom got the recipe from her but it does not turn out the same way. I guess, its all in her hands not the ingredients or method. She used to make it every Sunday , unlike other days of week when she would make our staple food "Thali" which would have Subji (Vegetable dish), Roti , Dal and Chawal (Rice) with salad, papad or pickle. And, not only will she make it but I was invited every Sunday to enjoy her "Dal Dhokli" and passing on this recipe to you all. Hope you enjoy it as much I did!
