Rajasthani Gatte KI Sabzi

Gatte ki Sabzi is an another interesting and a very famous side dish served along with rotis in Rajasthani houses. This dish doesnt need any veggies, no need of chopping, cutting,cleaning and all, just few garlic and grated ginger is needed and the whole recipe is prepared with simple spices,yogurt and gramflour/besan dough which is cooked and cut as medium sized thick pieces. Sounds seriously very new na, yep i had the same thought too when i saw this recipe for the first time. This Gatte ki sabzi was in my to do list  since a long and this week of blogging marathon pulled me to try this wonderful dish.

I picked this gatte ki subzi from Manjula's space and seriously i loved this fantastic dish, the ingredients and cooking process may sound bit long but once you starts cooking this dish,you will realize that this dish will go for easy cooking process. An incredible side dish for rotis, with a mild tangy taste this sabzi is one of my recent favourite from Rajasthani cuisine.Once this sabzi gets cool,it will turns thick and even i had the leftover sabzi  as a snacks. This is my second post for this week's blogging marathon with traditional as theme.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#27.
