Preparation
For Gatte

• Mix all dry masalas in besan
• Add oil to the besan and mix
• Slowly add dahi and mix it. Remember not to add all together as otherwise besan tends to get sticky. You may not use all the dahi.
• Make it into a firm dough (firm enough to roll it into cylinderal shapes
• Now, take a small ball of the dough and roll it into 1/2 inch thick cylinderical shape (about 6 inch long or so.
• Now take a pot and boil water in it. Take enough water to put all the above made rolled gatte in it.
• Now, add the gatte in the boiling water. They should be fully merged in water.
• It should take about 10-15 min. Check by inserting a knife in one of the gatte shaped roll and make sure knife comes out clean.
• Once all are done, drain the gatte rolls out of water. Do not throw water as we will use it for the gravy.
• Cut about 1/2 - 1 inch thick gatte at an angle (based on how big you would like them).

Gravy and Mixing

• Add all dry masalas (except salt, add salt at the end as needed) to dahi and mix it well till smooth.
• Take a wide pan, add oil
• Add rai, jeera and let them splutter
• Now, add ginger and garlic and fry for a minute
• Add onion and fry till it is translucent
• Add tomato and fry till it is all mushy (cover the lid, it will be quicker)
• Add the dahi and mix till the gravy starts boiling and separating oil
• Now, add the gatte pieces in it, cover and cook for5 more min.
• Add saved water (and more) as needed.
• The sabzi is ready !!!
