  • 1 tsp coriander powder/dhania powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika/kashmiri lal mirch for color
  • 1 tbsp dried fenugreek leaves/kasoori methi
  • 1 tbsp water
  • salt as needed

Instructions
 

For gatte

  • Mix together Besan with all the spices and oil.Add yogurt and make a soft dough,like we do for rotis/chapatis. Dough will be sticky, oil your hands and keep wetting hands to bring it together. Put oil on the dough and set aside.
  • Turn on IP to Saute mode-More. Add 6 cups water and bring to a boil.
  • While the water comes to a boil, divide the dough into 8 and make rolls out of the dough
  • In boiling water,add the rolls gently.
  • Rolls will sink to the bottom and come up in few minutes.
  • DO NOT TOUCH OR STIR THE ROLLS
  • The rolls will get bubbles on top, in about 10 minutes(Bubbles on top is an indicator that the gatte are cooked inside)
  • Do knife test by taking inserting knife into a roll to see if its done
  • Strain the gatte in a sieve or colander, saving the water in which the gatte were boiled
  • Once cool, cut the gatte into small rounds(Shallow fry in a frying pan for a richer taste)

For curry

  • Ina bowl whisk together,yogurt,haldi,kashmiri lal mirch,lal mirch,dhania powder, kasoori methi and 1 tbsp water and set aside

For tempering/tarka of curry

  • Turn IP to Saute mode-More, and heat the ghee/oil.
  • Add Cumin/jeera and let it crackle
  • Add ginger,green chili and crushed tomato and cook till oil separates
  • TURN OFF THE IP and slowly add the yogurt mixture to the IP and mix well
  • Turn the IP back to Saute mode-More and add the water that we had saved and bring to a boil
  • Add the cut gatte rounds and continue to cook till desired consistency

Notes

For soft gatte,do not touch the rolls and do not be tempted to stir them when they sink to the bottom,they will eventually rise.Adding yogurt/dahi to the gatte makes them soft. Shallow frying the gatte on a frying pan gives a richer taste to the curry. Its best to turn the IP off while adding yogurt as sometimes the yogurt separates. The same step can be followed if making the gatte ki sabzi in a regular pan or kadhai.
