Instructions To prepare Potato Stuffed Dal Dhokli Recipe, get prep with all the ingredients mentioned and proceed with making the dumplings. Start with sieving the flour with salt and knead into a semi-stiff dough with enough water.Cover the dough with a lid and keep aside for 10-15 minutes. Meanwhile prepare filling for dumplings. Take boiled and mashed potato in one bowl, add salt to taste, chilli powder, turmeric powder, chopped coriander, Garam masala, lemon juice and sugar(optional).Mix all spices well into potato. Make medium sized balls from the potato mixture.Make about 10-15 equal small sized balls from the dough.Roll out into 3-4 inches diameter roti base with a rolling pin, place the potato ball in center of roti. This rolled out roti dough should be thinner, like the thickness of regular chapati.Bring together all the edges in the center and join them. Cover whole potato roll with roti, remove the excess dough if necessary. Try to avoid thick covering around the stuffing.Similarly, prepare 10-15 dumplings till all the filling is used up and cover with a plate.
