- Cover and cook gram flour mixture for 2-3 minutes.
- Now, prepare a flat surface by applying some oil. In the meantime, once the gram flour mixture is cooked, add oil and give it a stir once again.
- Bring this mixture to the prepared surface and shape it with your hands with a thickness of approximately 0.5 inches. (Do apply some oil on your hands before shaping the dough, otherwise dough will stick to your hands).
- Once the dough mixture is cool, cut it into 1×1 inch pieces.
- In a pan, add 4 tbsp oil and to it add crushed garlic, chilli powder, kashmiri red chilli powder, turmeric powder and coriander cumin powder. Once the raw smell of spices are gone, add buttermilk to it. Cover and cook until oil separates.
- Add dhokli to this gravy and cook for another 5-7 minutes.
