This is one bengali recipe I learned while I was surfing.. I tuned it to my taste.. Dim in bengali means Egg.. Dhoka is Dhokala :) so its gravy of Egg Dhokala :) Egg Dhokala without putting in gravy is also very tasty and nice breakfast or snacks item.. When I prepare gravy its very hard to resist eating these dhokas and save them for gravy :)

• Cook till gravy is well done and keep on adding water if it starts becoming too thick.
• Add salt boil it nicely. Add the dhokas and thicken the gravy on medium flame.

Notes
You can additionaly try putting chopped tomato in Dhoka but I don't like tomato mixed with beaten egg.
With 6 eggs it makes around 20 Dhokas.
When I cooked this for the first time I had used curd but yesterday I didn't use it and it suited me more. Curd gives typical odour thats what I feel.
