You can also make lauki ke gatte by kneading the dough with grated lauki instead of water. Make sure grate lauki with very fine grater so that gatte remains smooth. These lauki ke gatte are very delicious and healthy. It is an easy vegetarian recipe which you can make for any occasion. I like to serve it with lachha paratha or warqi paratha. Tastes heaven !!! While making besan gatte ki sabzi it is very important that gatte should be porous and soft from inside, so that when you put them in gravy they absorb the gravy well inside. To make soft gatte make sure you add some oil while kneading the dough. Consistency of the dough should be like poori dough or little harder than chapatti dough. Let the gatte boil in water for at least twelve to fifteen minutes. You can check if gatte is ready or not insert the toothpick in boiled gatta and it should come clean. To make dry gatte ki sabzi just make gatte as shown in video and let them cool down for some time. Now heat the oil in karahi or wok add mustard seeds followed by cumin seeds, curry leaves, turmeric powder. Saute and add chopped gatte and add red chilly powder, coriander powder, amchur powder, slit green chilly, coriander leaves and saute for 8-10 minutes on medium heat. Gatte ki sabzi without onion gravy is ready to serve.
