- 3-4 clove Garlic

Instructions
Prepare the Besan Gatte
- Combine gram flour, yogurt, baking soda, fennel seeds, ajwain, turmeric powder, red chili powder, asafoetida, and salt in a bowl.
- Gradually add water while kneading until a stiff, yet pliable dough forms. Be careful not to add too much water at once.
- Divide the dough into several equal portions. Roll each portion into a cylindrical shape (about 1-inch thick).
- Bring 3-4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Gently add the rolled gatte and boil for 15-20 minutes, or until they float to the surface and are cooked through.
- Remove the cooked gatte and allow them to cool completely. Once cooled, slice them into bite-sized pieces. Reserve the boiling water in which the gatte were cooked.
Make the Curry Gravy
- Finely chop the onion, tomato, garlic, ginger, and green chili.
- Heat vegetable oil in a pan or pot. Add the chopped onions and saute until translucent.
- Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, ginger, and green chili. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the coriander powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Cook for another minute, stirring continuously.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the plain yogurt and whisk well, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the oil starts to separate from the gravy. This usually takes 2-3 minutes.
- Pour in the reserved water from boiling the gatte. Add the sliced gatte pieces to the gravy. Simmer on low heat for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Serve and Garnish
- Transfer the Besan Gatte ki Curry to a serving bowl. Garnish generously with fresh coriander leaves.
- Serve hot with parathas, rotis, or naan.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Besan Gatte ki Curry:
- For extra fluffy gatte, let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes after kneading.
- Don't overcook the gatte; they should be soft but not mushy.
- For a richer flavor, use homemade yogurt.
- Adjust the amount of red chili powder to your preferred spice level.
