Recipe
1
In a mixing bowl, combine gram flour, turmeric, red chili powder, ajwain, salt, oil, and 2 tablespoons of curd to form a firm dough without adding extra water.
2
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll them into cylindrical logs.
3
Boil water in a deep pan and drop the gatte logs into it, cooking for about 10 to 12 minutes until they float and develop tiny blisters.
4
Remove the gattes, let them cool slightly, and slice them into small bite-sized rounds while reserving the boiled water for the gravy.
5
Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed pan and lightly pan-fry the sliced gattes until golden, then set them aside.
6
In the same pan, add cumin seeds, fennel seeds, and a pinch of hing, allowing them to splutter in the remaining ghee.
7
Stir in the ginger-garlic paste and sauté until the raw aroma disappears completely.
8
Lower the heat and add coriander powder, remaining turmeric, and red chili powder, stirring quickly to prevent burning.
9
Slowly whisk in the sour curd, stirring continuously on low heat until the gravy comes to a gentle boil and the oil separates.
10
Add the reserved boiling water from the gattes to adjust the gravy consistency and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
11
Gently drop the fried gatte slices into the simmering gravy, sprinkle garam masala, and cook for another 3 minutes.
12
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve piping hot alongside freshly prepared warm Missi Roti.
