Method

1.   Wash and Chop beans of your choice.

3. Stir once and add remaining ingredients of shak in the pressure cooker. Add ¼ cup water. Again stir and switch on the flame.
4. Pressure cook upto  two whistles. Keep aside.
5. In mixing bowl mix wheat flour with oil and then mix remaining  ingredients of dhokli and knead into soft dough. Keep aside for 1 hour.
6. After 1 hour due to the coarseness  of the wheat flour,soft dough now turns into medium hard dough.
7. Hold a small portion of dough and roll over a wooden  board  or mat and make a long cylinder. Now hold this cylinder with one hand and with the other hand fingers, pinch a small portion of dough.  Roll the dough portion with your fingers and then press with your thumb. This way makes all dhokli and keep aside.( see Video).
8. Open the lid of the pressure cooker. Stir and mix the cooked beans.
9. Add 3  glass (1½ lit.)of water in same cooker and boil on high flame.
10. Once it starts boiling add all dhokli , give one quick stir and close the lid and pressure cook upto 2 whistles.
11. Once pressure releases, open the lid and adjust the consistency by adding water,
12. Add jaggery and kokum,  give one boil on high flame. If you want to add lemon juice instead of kokum then mix juice only after switching off the flame.
