Gatte Ki Subji ( Gram Flour Dumplings in Spicy Gravy)

Gatte ki Subji is a very popular dish from Rajasthan.

Rajasthan is a dry state and most of it is dessert. There is a scarcity of water and hence green vegetables are produced less. Cooking style in Rajasthan is therefore influenced by the climate conditions. Mainly dried lentils and beans such as sangria are used in cooking. Gram flour is used in a variety of dishes such as kadi pakodi, gatte ki subji, Mirchi bada. Sweets are mainly prepared from milk  and its products to reduce usage of water. To minimize the water usage while cooking food, more ghee and oil is used. The Rajasthani dishes are spicy but have their own flavors.

I was invited by our Rajasthani friend Tina Sanchetti for lunch. She had made this authentic gatte ki subji for us. It was very delicious and mouthwatering. She has also served us paneer pakoda, rajma, jeera matar rice, boondi raita and the very refreshing mango pie for the desserts. We had a lovely lunch and enjoyed her warm hospitality. Rajasthanis are very good at hospitality and they welcome and serve their guests in a proper manner.

She has shared me her detailed gatte ki recipe and also the photographs for my blog.  She had prepared the gatte ki subji using water. But she told us that many people make it with curd.

I am presenting here the detailed recipe of gatta as shared by Tina Sanchetti.
