Divide the dough into small portions and roll out each portion into a thin disc like chapati, using wheat flour. Cut each chapati into square or diamond shape and keep aside.
Now, add 2-3 cups of water in cooked dal and blend it well. When it comes to a boil, start adding dhoklis in this boiling dal and cover it with a lid and cook for 1 more whistle (usually i make dal dhokli like so when in hurry)
One more way is that,transfer cooked dal in a deep pan on the flame, add water, blend it and when it starts boiling,add dhoklis,and cook on low medium flame till the consistency of dal gets slightly thick and dhoklis cooked well,while stirring occassionally.
Meanwhile,for the tempering, heat ghee in a pan, add all the mentioned ingredients for tempering and saute for few seconds. Add this tempering to the dal, mix well and cook for more 4-5 mins.
While serving, drizzle some melted ghee and lemon juice on top, garnish with chopped coriander and finely chopped onion, serve immediately.
