Gatte Ki Subzi

Gatte ki Subzi, a famous Rajasthani Curry made with steamed chickpea flour dumplings in spicy yogurt curry. Best enjoyed with jeera rice or fresh hot chapatis or paranthas.

It is an everyday curry that can be served for lunch or dinner and also made on special occassions. Making the curry with gatte is very easy. The only time it takes is to make gatte. For some it may seem a tricky task, as gatte can get hard. But if you follow few simple tricks then we get soft gatte that can be relsished in curry or pulao. Here I am presenting the no-onion no-garlic version, that can be made on festivals when we restrict or make for guests who avoid onion and garlic.

What are Gatte

Gatte are steamed and then shallow fried(optional), dumpings made with besan/chickpea flour. The key to get soft gatte is to knead a soft dough and steam gatte well . Gatte are cooked in boiling water, cooled down and then cut into pieces. You can shallow fry gatte before adding to curry or add dierectly. Also, if you are making gatte ahead of time then steam gatte for a while before adding to the curry. Checkout another popular Rajasthani recipe with gatte... Gatte Ka Pulao.

To make spicy yogurt curry, use a sour yogurt/khatta dahi(curd). Add besan/chickpea folour along with other spices. Making puree with or without tomatoes, onion and garlic depends upon one's preferences. Many people skip onion and garlic when making on festive occassions . The curry gets it's authentic flavour from the whole spices like bay leaves, black cardamoms (badi eliachi) and cloves.

Preparation..

First step is to make Gatte. After the gatte are ready, we need to add these to the curry. Add gatte while the curry is cooking. If you want to add tomato puree you can add around 1/2 cup after adding yogurt mix.

Let's see in detailed the ingredients and how I make Gatte Ki Subzi

    Somehow I prefer the fried version than the softer gatte. This is one wholesome dish even with the lack of vegetables in the arid area.
