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..

That is an awesome list of dishes made with gatte. Each and every dish looks so scrumptious. I have once tried gatte, but never got around to it next time. You are tempting me to try it again..
I know of gatte ki kadhi, sabji & tikki. The other two are so inviting and new to me 🙂 what an idea , Manjula ! kalakkareenga pa… very nice work.. if u ever publish a cookbook, I will buy that blindly simply coz of your photography…:)
Wow, such a different recipes using gatte. Even i had the gatte ki ciurry in my todo list for the same theme, but somehow missed it. Now you’re really tempting me to try those, looks absolutely delicious and i’m drooling here. Share the link of the tv show that you & your mom cooking, would love to watch it,Manjula.
Wow! That is a great array of dishes, Manjula. Is Gatte ka pulao same as this? I need to make all these dishes soon. Love the thali and the dishes in there.
Pulav is completely different Harini .. this our traditional dish ..
I dunno what to say Manju here, seriously am lost with my words. How beautifully you have plated all those gatta ki thali re, ultimate. Seriously i would like to finish that gatta ki sabzi just like a snack and that Thiyari is simply irresistible, lovely plating and amazing set up. All Gatte dishes rocks.
Share the cook show link pa. Would love to see you and your mom. This is a feast. My BFF is a Marwari and I have relished quite a few dishes at her place and one is the gatte. We follow no onion no garlic most of the time but I always thought that we need onion and garlic to cook subzis and curries from other states. But I learnt we can make delicious curries without onion and garlic at her place. Everytime you post a traditional Rajasthani recipe, it makes me all nostalgic. I have bookmarked this to try. Awesome share.
As always an exotic feast i could see.. Hope your family is also enjoying this series along with you !!
I read the post yesterday but was so short of time that did not comment..now..to the Gatta thali..one the concept is interesting to showcase all gatta dishes, absolutely amazing.
I love gattas and make these dishes often, but I have never made Gatta Tikki and Gatta Jalebi. Jalebi I can understand , but would love to get the recipe for the Gatta Tikki.Love the way you have presented all dishes and yes please share the link to the TV show , it would be a pleasure watching your mom.
Wow Manjula, you simply rock girl!..we ask for one and you always bring on so many dishes..simply loving your feast that you have here..We recently had Rajasthan food for lunch in our office and one of the dishes was this rice they made with gatte, I assume something similar to your Gatte Ki Thiyari. I so now want to make this. The other gatte dishes are stunning as well!…what a lovely thali you got here..
I am still wondering how you can cook , click and post so many dishes on one day!! I have heard of pulao and sabji with gatte but here you have a whole array of dishes. Such a lovely spread and I would like to cook a few from your spread.
Omg you are rocking Manjula , I can never think of cooking so many dishes in one day let alone post the same day. Yo cooked and posted all in one day, hats off to you dear. Such tasty dishes all made with gatta, and presented so beautifully.
WHat a spread to make with gatte and love love your spread. I first learned about Rajasthani thali from you and have made a few dishes when we did the SNC. I love the Gatte ki Thiyari. It has everything in one dish and should be so filling as well.
Thank you sandhya 🙂 You made my day 🙂
