Rinse and cook the toor dal with turmeric powder and salt until soft and mushy.
In a bowl, mix wheat flour with salt, red chilli powder, coriander powder, ajwain, and garam masala, then add water to form a stiff dough.
Roll the dough into thin sheets and cut into small diamond or square shapes to make dhokli pieces.
Heat ghee in a pan and add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cloves, cinnamon, and curry leaves; sauté until the seeds splutter and aromatic.
Add dry peanuts and roast until slightly browned, then stir in chopped tomatoes, green chillies, garlic, and ginger; cook until the tomatoes soften.
Add the cooked dal, jaggery, and additional water if needed to adjust consistency; bring to a boil.
Gently add the dhokli pieces to the dal mixture and simmer until the dhokli is cooked through and tender.
Garnish with chopped coriander and serve hot.
