| on October 30, 2017

Gatte ki sabzi is a Rajasthani special curry which has besan as its main ingredient. This sabzi is commonly prepared in most households as a part of their daily meals. The besan is made into spicy dumplings and is deep-fried. This is then added to a delicious and zesty curd-based gravy. This twosome of the fried gatte with the dahi curry makes this dish irresistible.
