Ghatte Ki Kadhi

Gatte are gram flour dumplings which have a special place in Rajasthani cuisine. Curries, kadhi and pulao are some of the dishes in which gatte are incorporated. Besan along with some spices is made into a stiff dough. It is then divided and rolled into logs. These logs are boiled in water and the cooked logs are cut into bite sized pieces. these are the gatte and these are used in this kadhi to make a delicious side for rice. Kadhi is an yogurt based gravy which goes very well with rice. I have also provided the step wise pictorial for the preparation of gatte. Make the gatte and have a wonderful meal..
