Gatte Ki Sabzi in Onion-Tomato Gravy (Gram flour Dumplings in Gravy)

This is a very unique gatte ki sabzi, unique because it does not have yogurt gravy ! My mother makes it in onion gravy and its tastes delicious.  My onion gravy doesn't comes out as good as hers, so added small amount of tomatoes and voilà, it tastes amazing.

  • Slice the boiled gatte logs and slightly fry it in little oil and keep it aside
Prepare curry

  • Heat oil and add cumin seeds, asafoetida and let the seeds crackle. 
  • Saute sliced onions, followed byginger garlic paste and tomatoes. Add all the dry spices. Add water in which gattes were boiled (around 3 cups). Boil the gravy and add gattes and cook covered on low heat for another 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve it with chapati, rice or parathas
Variations:
  • You can add some fresh or dry fenugreek leaves to the gattes for distinctive flavor.
