3.       Keep for 5 min, shape them like a sausage.

4.       Heat lots of water in a thick bottomed pan, add a little salt.


5.       Drop the sausage shaped dough into the boiling water.


6.       Initially it will sink to the bottom, but as it cooks the sausages will start floating on top.



7.       Remove them with a slotted spoon. Cut each into 2 inch thick slices.


8.       Heat oil, deep fry the cut gatte pieces till they are a light brown colour.


9.       Remove on a absorbent kitchen paper and keep till further use.

10.   Heat oil, add in the jeera seeds, heeng and the onion.

11.   Sauté for a minute and add in the ginger garlic paste.

12.   When the onion has softened add in the methi leaves.

13.   Make sure you pluck only the leaves and leave them whole (do not chop them)


14.   Mix and allow the leaves to soften.


15.   Now add in the chop tomato and cook covered till the tomato has softened a little.



16.   Add in half cup water, and all the masalas with salt. Stir, cover and simmer for 2 min.


17.   Now add in the gattas, mix and again cover and simmer for 2 min.


18.   Add in the lime juice, switch off the flame and leave it covered for a further 5 min.

19.   The gattas would have absorbed the moisture a little.


20.   Serve hot with any Indian flat bread, chapatis, a bowl of curd and green chillies.
