Ingredients
- Chickpea Flour (Besan) – 1 cup

- Red Chili Powder – ¼ tsp
- Garam Masala – ¼ tsp
- Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp
- Ghee (Clarified Butter) – 1 Tbsp
- Ginger – ¼ tsp, minced
- Garlic – ¼ tsp, minced
- Green Chilies – ¼ tsp or to taste, minced
- Yogurt – ¼ cup
- Water – 4 cups
- For the gravy:
- Oil – 2 Tbsp
- Cumin Seeds – ½ tsp
- Tomato – 1 medium, chopped
- Yogurt – 1 cup
- Red Chili Powder – ¼ tsp
- Turmeric Powder – ¼ tsp
- Garam Masala – ½ tsp
- Coriander Powder – 1½ Tbsp
- Green Chilies – to taste, minced
- Garlic – 1 tsp, minced
- Ginger – 1 tsp, minced

Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, add Chickpea Flour, Salt, Red Chili Powder, Garam Masala, and Turmeric Powder. Mix well.
- Add Ghee and mix thoroughly.
- Add Ginger, Garlic, Green Chilies and Yogurt. Knead to form a stiff dough (dough will be sticky and will stick to hands).
- In a deep pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
- Lightly coat fingertips and hands with oil. Divide dough into approx 4 portions and roll each portion between hands to form a thin cylinder shape (log).
- Drop the cylinders into the boiling water and boil for approx 5 minutes. Be sure to gently stir after the first minute. Cylinders will float up when they are cooked – continue boiling for 1 minute more.
- Remove from water and allow cylinders to cool before cutting them into ½ inch pieces (gatte). DO NOT discard the boiling water as it will be used in a later step.
- In a non-stick pan, heat 2 Tbsp Ghee.
- Add Cumin Seeds and allow them to sizzle.
- Add Tomatoes and cook for 1 minute.
- Add Gatte and cook for 2 minutes.
- In the meantime, mix 1 cup Yogurt with Red Chili Powder, Turmeric Powder, Garam Masala, Coriander Powder, Green Chilies, Garlic, Ginger and Salt.
- Switch off stove and add the Yogurt mixture slowly while stirring continuously.
- Turn stove back on medium-high heat and add 2 cups of the reserved boiling water. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and cook on medium heat for approx 10 minutes.
- Garnish with Cilantro (coriander leaves) and serve with rice or chapati.
