Preparation

Add the gram flour (chickpea flour, kadalamavu, besan) to that stock (in which u boiled the dumplings), mix well and keep it aside.

In a half a cup of yoghurt, add a pinch of hing, salt, coriander powder, turmeric powder, chilli powder and mix it well.

Heat oil , add mustard seeds, when it splutters, add cumin seeds.

When it is ready, add the yoghurt mix, stir well. Then add the gram flour mixture. Let it boil. If the mixture is more thick, add little more water.

Now add the fried gatta to it and close the lid. Let it be on sim for few minutes. If you wish you can add more spices and can make it more spicy too !! I have made it simple. You can add ginger-garlic paste, green chillies, onion, and kasoori methi too to the dough. It gives a different taste..

Garnish with coriander leaves.
