Description

Oats Gatte Ki Sabzi Recipe is my innovative version of the traditional gatte ki sabzi from Rajasthan. The steamed oats - gram-flour dumplings are cooked in a spicy gravy. The addition of ginger, garlic and onions into the Gatte Ki Sabzi makes this curry absolutely delicious.  This mouth-watering main dish will complement any meal and tastes best when served with Khooba roti, chapati or rice.
