Gatte ka Pulao – is a very famous Rajasthani dish. Garam flour is used extensively in Rajasthan as they don’t get vegetables throughout the year. It is a healthy and tasty one-pot meal. this is protein-rich pulao.
It is a unique variation of pulao where the rice is cooked with spiced gram flour dumplings called “gatte” instead of vegetables or meat. Gatte are made by combining gram flour (besan) with various spices and then steaming or boiling them.
Gatte is made from besan flour. You can prepare gatte beforehand and use it whenever you make rice. Gatte can be used for Subzi also. This is a handy recipe esp when you run out of vegetables or looking for different pulao than normal vegetable pulao. In some recipes I have see Gatte is fried before adding to the rice. If you want crispy Gatte shallow fry it before adding to rice.This is a perfect alternative for plain rice. You can serve Gatte me Pulao with your favorite raita
