    Instructions
     

    FOR MAKING GATTE

    • Take a bowl and add the ingredients mentioned for making Gatte.
    • Knead it into a dough using water.
    • Make a log by rolling the dough on a clean surface.
    • Cut the log into small pieces and keep aside. If you like, you can deep fry them.

    MAKING OF GRAVY

    • Add oil in a pressure cooker. If using mustard oil, then it needs to be cooked till smoking point.
    • Then add cumin, turmeric powder, red chilli powder and coriander powder. Make sure oil is not too hot while adding spices otherwise they will burn quickly.
    • Add tomatoes, green chili and ginger in a grinder jar.
    • Make a puree and add it to the cooker. Also add coriander powder and salt because salt fastens the pace of tomatoes cooking.
    • Cook by stirring at intervals for 5-7 minutes or until tomatoes begin to leave the sides of cooker.
    • Whisk curd, gram flour and water in a bowl and add to the cooker by stirring simultaneously, otherwise curd may curdle.
    • When curd begins to boil, add gatte.
    • Close the lid of pressure cooker and let them cook upto 3 whistles.
    • Open the lid when pressure is released and add garam masala and coriander leaves. Mix.
    • Besan ke Gatte are ready. Enjoy.
