Rajwadi Dhokli Nu Shak | Spiced Chickpea Flour Dumplings in Yogurt Curry

I have very fond memories of enjoying this delicious Rajwadi Dhokli nu Shak with my dad. My dad and I absolutely love this curry, it is one of our favorites and I am sure you won't be surprised if I tell you, that I bond with everyone close to me in my life over food. We would enjoy this curry with simple hearty rotlis, vaghareli khichadi, and bajri na rotlas. What a feast it was.

This recipe is easy and gluten-free. I have shared a short video on my Instagram to show how to make this recipe step by step.
