BM #15    Day 5
Gatte ki Subzi is one of the top favorites amongst Rajasthani  Cuisines. Here I have mixed cottage cheese to make it rich and extra soft.Traditionally this is prepared with chick pea flour, but I have used moong daal flour since my hubby is allergic to besan. Infact everyone enjoyed this preparation which was much lighter than the chick pea one.

Gattas
1cup……. chick pea flour / moong daal flour
½ cup….. grated cottage cheese
¼ tsp…… carom seeds
½ tsp…… red chilly pwd
½ tsp…… garam masala
½ tsp…… green chilly
Few coriander leaves finely chopped
3tbsp….. oil
Salt to taste

Mix all ingredients and make a semi soft dough.
Place a pot of water to boil.
With greased hand roll out thin fingers from the dough.
Put these in the boiling water.
Remove them with a slotted spoon after about 8-10 minutes.
Cool.
Cut into 1’’pieces.
Deep fry.(this is purely optional)
Keep aside the left over water for gravy.

The paneer gattas served in the Rajasthani Thaali..may look different from these as I have garnished those with Kashmiri red chillies.
