    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.

    Notes

    I have uploaded a step by step video recipe on my Instagram highlights. Check it out here. https://www.instagram.com/thewhiskaddict/
    Keep the Dhoklis a little bit on the thicker side, about 2-3 inches thick so they don't dissolve in the curry
    This Curry can be made vegan using Forager Plain Unsweetened Cashew Yogurt. 
    Make sure you stir the Besan Batter once you add it to the buttermilk to make the dhoklis, so no lumps are formed.
