Guar dhokli is a traditional Gujarati dish in which we cook cluster beans and flour dumplings with spices. This dish is easy, stomach-filling, delicious and healthy.


Dhoklis is similar to pasta. So you can also consider it as an Indian version of pasta. To not get bored, you can always make changes in the ingredients of dhokli.

Guar is rich in iron and fibre. So it is not only tasty, but this also makes it a healthy recipe.

Guar is a bit bitter. Therefore, we add jaggery and lemon juice to it for balance. Sometimes, we can even add sugar to the recipe for the same.

Some people like to eat this dish dry. In comparison, some like to eat it with its curry. Both ways are acceptable depending on how you want to eat them. Serve it with roti or phulka.

The combination of guar and dhokli is not common. Yet, the presence of ajwain and ginger & garlic makes it more flavoursome.
