Instructions

In a mixing bowl, take besan and oats. Add salt, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, heeng, cumin and oil.
Add grated carrot and chopped methi to it. Mix all nicely by rubbing between hands.
Add little water (if required) to make smooth soft dough. Roll out balls of this dough into long rolls.
Boil water in a pan and add the gatta rolls to it. Boil and cook on medium flame,till the gatta rolls are cooked. Test by piercing a knife or skewer. It should come out clean.
When done, remove the rolls from water and cut into pieces. Retain the stock to use in gravy later.
Take big cup of curd and add salt, haldi, dhania and chilli powder. Mix well.
Heat ghee/oil in a kadai. Add heeng and cumin for tadka. Lower flame and then add the curd mixed with masala to the tadka.
Add desicated coconut powder too (optional). Stir well. When the masala is cooked (oil being separated from sides), add gatta pieces to the gravy.
Adjust the consistency of the gravy by adding the stock of gatta. Add a pinch of garam masala to this.
Simmer, boil and cook the gattas. When the gravy leaves the oil from sides and a oily layer is formed on the top, it indicates the sabzi is well cooked.
Garnish with chopped green chillies and fresh chopped coriander leaves.
Gajar - methi ke gatte ki sabzi is ready to be served.

I am a housewife passionate towards cooking variety vegeterian food. Since I love change in the food regularly, I keep experimenting and innovating the daily food with simple twists so that they look different and maintain the taste. Variation in look, taste and preperation is my mantra in day to day cooking.
