It tastes good with Bajra roti, Jowar Roti, Missi Roti, or even chapati or Rice.

Gatte is sabji has many variations as some people make it with curd, some go with onion-tomato gravy. We can choose the gravy we like but the trick is to reserve the water that you get from boiling the gatte and add it to the gravy as it will make the gravy tasty and give it the required texture.

Use of curd while kneading the dough for Besan gatte is another secret of good gatta curry as it will make the gatte soft which is a prerequisite for a delectable besan gatte ki sabji.

For Besan Gatte

1. Take Gram flour in a big bowl. Add all the spices mentioned above for the Gatte. Now add ghee in the center

2. Mix with fingers well. Add curd and mix well. Knead into a dough. I did not use water as curd was enough to bind the dough.

3. Finish the dough with 1 tsp of oil. keep it aside for 5-7 min.let it rest.

4.Now divide the dough into 4 balls. Grease your palms with oil and roll each ball into a cylindrical shape.

5.Boil 4 cups of water in a pan or kadai. Add these cylindrical shapes one by one. The water level should be a few inches above the gatte.

6. Add 1/4 tsp Turmeric Powder to the water. Cook for a few minutes. Usually, it takes 15-16 min. when gatte are cooked they will float on water and bubbles will appear on them.

In the meanwhile prepare gatta gravy.

For the onion-ginger-garlic paste

Grind onion, ginger, garlic to make a paste.

For Tomato puree

Grind the tomatoes in a mixer without adding water. The Puree is ready.

For Gatte Gravy

11. Add this curd to the gravy.

12. Mix lightly.

13. It is time to add gatta water that we got after boiling the gatta. We have used only one medium onion in preparing the curry as the thickness of the gravy will come by this besan gatta water. This water will add flavors to the gravy.
