Instant Gatte Kadhi: No Onion Recipe

gatte kadhi

If you love gatte, you have always tried these savory snacks with gram flour (besan). In continuation of my experimentation spree, I went ahead and tried gatte with a blend of besan, suji (semolina), and oats.

This no onion recipe post is inspired by Ritu Mendiratta's Dahi wale gatte.

I have used chana sattu (roasted bengal gram) in place of besan or chickpea flour. This is the yummiest ever gatte ki sabzi - do give it a try.
