Daal Dhokali can be made with various types of lentils (or Daal). Some commonly used Daals include Toor (Pigeon peas), Masoor (Red lentil), and Moong (Mung bean). The Daal is then pressure cooked with water, and tempered with spices to create a stew. The Dhokali, or wheat flour pieces, are made by kneading a dough of Wheat flour, salt, and water, rolling it, and cutting into pieces.[3]

Some variations add peanuts. Other flavors in the dish can come from Kokum, Jaggery, and spices like Cumin and Asafoetida.[4]
