Ingredients
For the Gatte (Dumplings)
- 1.5 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tsp Chili Powder red
- 0.5 tsp Baking Soda
- 4-5 cup Water for boiling the gatte
Instructions
Prepare the Gatte
- Combine gram flour, salt, red chili powder, and baking soda. Gradually add water, mixing to form a slightly stiff dough. Roll the dough into thick cylindrical logs and cut into 1-inch pieces.
Boil the Gatte

Make the Gravy
- In a pan or kadai, heat oil. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida; let them splutter.
- Add grated ginger, coriander powder, turmeric powder, and salt. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Pour in about 1 cup of the reserved gatte cooking water. Simmer for a few minutes.
- Stir in half of the beaten yogurt and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until the gravy slightly thickens.
- Add the cooked gatte to the gravy. Simmer gently for 5 minutes to allow the gatte to absorb the flavors.
- Stir in the remaining yogurt and cook for a couple more minutes until heated through. Do not boil.
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with rice or roti.
