Gatte Ki Sabji

Gatte ki Sabji step by step instructions:

Gatte ki sabji is a traditional Rajasthani sabji. I love this sabji a lot. It has a tangy and spicy flavor. Either curry can be made from the gattas or masala gattas can be prepared from it. The gattas are generally prepared from the gram flour and curd/oil are used as a shortening for the gattas. Adding the shortening makes the gattas very soft.

Prepare this curry for lunch/dinner and serve it hot with rotis, I am sure everyone will praise you a lot.

Besan (gram flour): ¼ cup
Turmeric powder: 1/8 tsp
Coriander powder: 1/2 tsp
Red chili powder: ¼ tsp
Carom seeds powder: a pinch
Curd: 1 tbsp.
Oil: ½ tbsp.
Water: 1 cup (to boil the gattas)
Salt as per taste
For the curry
Water: 1 cup
Curd: 2-3 tbsp.
Coriander powder: 1 tsp
Turmeric powder: ¼ tsp
Salt as per taste
For the tempering (Tadka)
Oil: 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds: ¼ tsp
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Curry leaves: 3-4
Green chili: 1
Red chili powder: ¼ tsp

Method:
1. In a bowl take besan. Add turmeric powder, coriander powder, red chili powder, carom seeds powder, salt, curd, and oil. Mix well and knead into a dough.

2. Divide the dough into 3 equal parts and roll them.

3. Heat a cup of water in a pan and add the gattas into it. Let the gattas boil for around 10-12 minutes or until they start floating. Make sure you stir occasionally so that they don’t stick to the bottom. Cut the gatta and see. If the interior is layered, then the gatta is done. Take them out from the water and let cool before cutting into pieces.

4. Add a cup of water to the same pan in which we boiled the gattas.

5. Let it boil and then add curd into it. Whisk until a boil comes. Now add turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well.

6. Meanwhile, cut the gattas into small pieces. Add the gatta pieces into the boiling curry and simmer for 8-10 minutes.

7. Prepare the tadka. In a small pan heat oil. Add mustard seeds and let them crackle. When the seeds have crackled add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and green chili. Fry for a few seconds.

8. Add red chili powder and mix well.
9. Immediately pour this tadka over the prepared curry and mix well. Simmer for a minute.

10. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve hot with roti, paratha, etc.
11. Delicious “Gatte ki Sabji” is ready.

Tips:
1. I did not use water to knead the dough. You can use water as required to knead the dough.
2. Do not discard the water in which we boiled the gattas.
3. If you want the curry to be thick then mash 2-3 gattas in the curry. This will thicken up the curry.
