The popularity of gatte ki subzi or gatta curry has now widely spread beyond Rajasthan to other parts of India. It’s best enjoyed during winter or rainy days and like most of the Rajasthani dishes it is bit high on spiciness.

Gatte ki sabzi can be served with roti, paratha or naan and can also be had with plain steamed rice. It also forms an essential part of Rajasthani thali along with other Rajasthani specialties like Panchmel DalBaati and Churma.

  1. This was delicious. I made it exactly like written except I doubled everything. I think we could have eaten even more! Next time I will use a little less salt in the sauce. But the flavors are great. My guests and I (not Indian) liked the texture of the gatte. Thanks for the recipe
