Rajasthani Gatte Ki Sabzi with step wise pictorial and video method.

“GATTE” means “Dumplings“.

This Gatte ki sabzi is a traditional vegetarian dish from Rajasthan (India) in which Gram flour dumplings are cooked in spicy tomato and/or curd/yoghurt based curry.

There are many variations of making this recipe with respect to its base. Some make it without tomatoes and curd only, whereas it is also cooked with the mix of tomatoes and curd.

This is one of the best recipe when you have no other vegetables to cook or otherwise you are interested in eating something unique and different.

HOW TO STORE GATTE FOR LONG TIME?

Although this is bit time taking recipe but with few tips, you can make it quickly. All you need to prepare the Gatte in advance and put in refrigerator for a week.

But in case you want to keep them for more longer period, then put them in ziplock bag or freezer safe container and deep freeze for 3 to 4 months.

All you need to bring them and put in the curry.

AN INSTANT PROCESS

Traditionally Gatte ki sabji is made in a pan. For that Gatte needs to be cooked separately. For cooking gatte, add sufficient water in a pan in which all gatte can immerse well. Do this process before cutting the gatte. Boil them for 5-7 minutes or until you see them floating over the water. Take them out and cut into pieces. Now it’s your choice either to add them directly in curry or fry first.

But here in this recipe, you need not to cook gatte separately. Use of pressure cooker makes the things easy as you need not to go through the boiling process. Just 3 whistles and you are done.
