Rajasthani Cuisine

Gatte Ki sabzi is a very famous Rajasthani yogurt based curry with no veggies No onion and no garlic. Gatta is a  spiced up chickpea dough shaped like a sausage and cooked in boiling water, they are then cut and made with yogurt based gravy. Not only sabzi we make many more dishes with gatta.Like the recipe, I am going to share here, Gatte Ki thiyari is a most loved dish in my home.  I make them often and it is a delicious variety rice with nothing fancy. I still remember My mom used to make this dish for every diwali with meetha chawal. This was a diwali special menu at mom’s place. There many varieties of thiyari but gatte is thiyari is a very traditional Rajasthani dish which is made only at home.Gatta as such can be made many ways such as paneer ke gatte, aloo ke gatte, Lauki ke gatte, Atte ka gatta and many more. We use leftovers very efficiently if we have leftover rice the first thing pops up is chawal ka gatta , I have been having it from my childhood. I had some other recipe lined up for G I told my hubby but he suggested Guntur Idli, I didn’t have proper ingredients. Letter G was following me where ever I go and Then this idea popped up to make our very own gatta and some variety gatta recipes which is a regular kind of food in our home. Don’t hit me  :p again I tend to overdo I know, I tried making gatte ki thali, which Included Gatte ki sabzi ( obviously), gatte ki kadhi, Gatte ki chakri, Gatte Ki Kadhi,Gatter Ki thiyari and I also make Gatte ki Tikki.

Rajasthan is known for its culture and food, Most of the Rajasthani cuisine have yogurt added to it bcoz of the scarcity of water. People substitute yogurt to make the gravy. Most of the time there is a scarcity of veggie and fruits so they use pulse and dried veggies to make their curries. Most of the food is prepared to keep in mind it should last for days without heating. We follow a no onion no garlic and no greens diet for Paryushan parava ( Jains 8 days festival) which when it is tough to decide what to cook and gatta is an Instant option at all homes which doesn’t need soaking of pulses and can be made in a jiffy. Last month I share a No onion No garlic No green veggie Thali and everyone for Bm theme Indian Thali .  Here I am with a No onion No garlic marwari food again, As we made yogurt based gravies a lot and gattas are most loved yogurt based gravy I thought Why not I do a Gatte Ki thali for the letter G. My mom did share this recipe on Tv show we both did in pudhuyugam (konjam soru konjam varalaru) , that was proud moment for me to make her cook for TV ..Lets move on to the recipe..
