Step-by-Step Recipe to Make Soft and Tasty Gatte ki Sabzi

Step 1: Preparing the Gatte Dough

Start by adding Health Mark Besan to a large mixing bowl. Add curd, oil, ajwain, salt, red chilli powder, hing, and turmeric. Mix everything together using your hands.

Add warm water little by little and knead the dough. The dough should be neither too hard nor too sticky—just soft and elastic.

👉 Tip: Oil your palms slightly while kneading. This prevents the dough from sticking and ensures soft gatte.

Step 2: Shaping and Boiling the Gatte

Divide the dough into 4–5 equal portions. Roll each portion into long, cylindrical shapes. Ensure they are even in thickness to cook uniformly.

Boil water in a deep pan and gently slide the rolls into it. Let them cook for 8–10 minutes until they rise to the top—this means they are perfectly cooked.

Remove them, allow them to cool slightly, and cut them into bite-sized pieces.

👉 Expert Tip: Don’t throw away the water used for boiling. It adds great flavour to your gravy!

Step 3: Preparing the Curry Base

In a bowl, whisk curd and add 1 tablespoon besan. This prevents the curd from curdling while cooking.

Heat oil in a kadai and add cumin, mustard seeds, cloves, and cinnamon. Once they splutter, add haldi, red chilli powder, coriander powder, and a pinch of salt.

Add the curd-besan mixture slowly and keep stirring continuously.

👉 Tip: Always cook curd on low flame to maintain smooth texture.

Step 4: Adding the Gatte to the Gravy

Add the boiled gatte pieces into the simmering gravy. Mix slowly, ensuring each piece absorbs the flavours.

Add the leftover boiled water if the gravy seems too thick.

Cover and cook for 10–12 minutes until the gatte turn soft, juicy, and full of flavour. Sprinkle garam masala and garnish with chopped coriander.

What Makes Gatte Soft and Tasty?

✔️ Use Fresh Besan

Old besan becomes dry and affects the dough texture. Health Mark Besan is always fresh, ensuring soft gatte.

✔️ Add Enough Oil

Oil is essential to keep the dough smooth and the gatte tender.

✔️ Use Warm Water

Kneading with warm water helps achieve the perfect texture.

✔️ Slow-Cook the Gravy

Low flame cooking allows the flavours to develop beautifully.
