Daal-Dhokali - Comfort food

When it comes to comfort food, I think this dish would top my list..Daal-Dhokali is sure a easy to make one dish meal also which can be enjoyed in lunch or dinner. Though the traditional Dhokali were made by hand, rolled and cut Dhokali taste equally well..
So here come the recipe..
