Recipe
1
In a mixing bowl, combine besan, ajwain, turmeric, chili powder, salt, oil, and 2 tablespoons of curd to form a firm dough without adding water.
2
Divide the dough into equal portions, roll them into cylindrical logs, and drop them into boiling water.
3
Boil the gatte for about 10 to 12 minutes until they float and develop slight bubbles on the surface, then remove and cut them into bite-sized pieces while retaining the boiling water.
4
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat mustard oil or ghee, add cumin seeds, hing, and crushed fennel seeds, allowing them to splutter.
5
Lower the heat and whisk in the sour curd along with coriander powder, turmeric, and red chili powder, stirring continuously to prevent curdling.
6
Pour in the reserved water from boiling the gatte and bring the gravy to a gentle simmer.
7
Add the sliced gatte pieces into the simmering gravy, season with salt, and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the flavors meld.
8
Finish with garam masala and freshly chopped coriander leaves, and serve hot alongside freshly made warm bajra roti.
