Chef's Tips
Chakki Ki Shaak is a traditional Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan dish using wheat dough dumplings in a yogurt gravy.
The wheat dumplings absorb the gravy beautifully — make them thick enough to hold their shape.
Parboil the chakki pieces completely before adding to gravy so they cook evenly.
This is a good use of leftover roti dough — a practical and delicious dish.
