I don't know what it is called in other parts of India, but in Gujarat and Rajasthan, it is known as Vaalor/Baalor. In North India, it is Sem Falee. My grandma often used to make this dish. Mummy also made this many times. I also often make this. Its taste because of Ajwain and Garlic is so special that you will not regret eating this. I guess in English, it is commonly recognized as Flat Green Beans. A likely-substitute to routine Roti-Sabzi.
[I apologize for presenting here the downloaded pic of this vegetable so that everyone recognizes what I have used to make this.]

Steps

1

Rinse and wash the falee and remove fiber from both the sides. Split and cut into half. Peel the garlic and crush it.

For Dhokli:
In the flour, add some oil, 1-1.5 tsp Ajwain/Carom Seeds, required masalas and knead a soft dough from it. Leave it aside for half an hour.
3

In a wok, heat some oil, crackle remaining carom seeds and crushed garlic. (You may also add fenugreek seeds if you want to) Saute it well. Add now split Sem falee (along with its seeds), masalas and salt. Saute well. Add 4-5 cup of water and let it boil.
4

Till then, make round balls from the dough and roll it to flat. Make the crosses and Cut it into diamond shape with the help of knief or spoon. Add this diamond shaped dhokli into the boiling sem falee gravy and let it cook for 20-25 minutes on medium-low flame.
5

Once all the water is absorbed and oil is released, the Dhokli will be little thick. That's all..
