Gatte ki kadhi

Gatte ki kadhi /gatte ki sabzi is one of the most endearing recipes from the royal state of Rajasthan.Gatta curry is a royal dish.It has a huge fan following the world over. I love Rajasthani recipes. Be it pyaj ki kachori or mirchi vada. Ghevar , papad ki sabzi or dal bati churma.Every dish has a unique flavor and low water usage.

How did it originate?

In the olden times, when the rains were scarce and vegetation was sparse. People had to cook with whatever little was available to them. This scarcity did lead to interesting recipes. This dish has a tangy spicy yogurt based chickpea flour curry. Yogurt gives the sourness and helps digest chickpea flour easily.Steamed dumplings or gatte can be made earlier and stored in refrigerator to enjoy a curry mid-week.Gatta sabji/gatte ki sabji is also known as besan sabji.

Quarantine curry

You can make it with minimal spices and ingredients. You can eat it with some plain tandoori roti at home. However, it is best eaten with bakhri or millet flat bread ('jowar roti'),some pickle and salad. This curry is especially a blessing in the need of the hour. Most of us stuck at home, cooking and thinking what to make next? How do you make things special? Without using too many resources and ingredients. Best is to re-use left-overs and make sure we waste nothing. You can make this recipe out of left-over curd or yogurt. I am sure this period at home is going to change the way we think, work and stay for a long time.
