Gatte Ki Sabji | बेसन के गट्टे| Gatte Ki Sabzi | Gatta Curry

April 26, 2020 Shubhra Food 0

Gatte ki sabji is a popular gravy based dish from the Rajasthani cuisine. Gatte meaning something which is in the form of a knot, but here we generally see the cylindrical form of gram flour having the concoction of several spices dipped in a gravy of tomato, garlic and curd. There are many variations of making Rajasthani gatte ki sabzi. In Bihar we prepare this sabji with onion and garlic with some spices, but curd is not added instead tomatoes are added into it.

Rajasthan is an Indian state with a large amplitude of desert. The dearth of vegetables gave rise to more dependence on dishes made from pulses, milk and other non-perishable food items. This has resulted in some very impeccable and appetizing regional cuisine which is famous as Rajasthani cuisine.

Gatte ki sabzi can be served with chapati, paratha, naan and can also be had with plain steamed rice. I have made this recipe in the authentic Rajasthani version but soon I will share authentic Bihari version of this recipe. Now let’s learn step by step process to prepare this recipe.
