Gatte Ki Sabji Recipe | Besan Ki Sabji | Traditional Rajasthani Gatta

Gatte ki sabji is a popular gravy based dish from the Rajasthani cuisine. Gatta or gatte in english are gram flour (besan) roundels that are added to a curd based gravy. There are many variations of making Rajasthani gatte ki sabzi. At home we make a Bihari version of gatte ki sabzji with onion, garlic, cumin chilli gravy where the curd is not added.

In the Rajasthani version of the recipe, as I have mentioned before curd is added. Apart from curd, in some variations, onion and tomatoes are also added. For making the gatte soft I have added curd which has really worked, along with clarified butter. In this gatte ki sabji recipe, I have only added onions with some garlic. I wanted a really good taste in the sabzi, so added both onion and garlic.

In fact, onions and garlic can also be skipped. In the absence of onions and garlic, the end result would be a gatte ki kadhi, where the gravy or sauce would be like a kadhi. I have been getting a lot of requests for Rajasthani gatte ki sabji. Making the gatte is not difficult.

With this recipe, you can get soft gatte which do not become hard or dense after cooking. Making gatte ki sabzi does take some time. What you get after some effort and time is a really delicious and spicy gatte ki sabzi, which can be relished with some roti or steamed rice. Let’s learn step by step process to prepare this recipe.
