Rajasthani Gatte Ki Sabzi
AuthorMeg's KitchenI am Punjabi!! and I am originally from Delhi… So for the most part of my life, regional food and other Indian cuisines didn’t really exist. I had heard about a lot of dishes, but that wasn’t food that we went out to eat or was cooked at home. I got married into a Marwari Jain household and you won’t believe how my palette transformed!! Another massive change happened when I moved to Mumbai.. this city is just amazing and the kind of cultural diversity it has, I doubt any other part of India can match up. Thanks to my mother-in-law and her mother-in-law (my husband’s dadi) and this city, I now know so much more about another world of food that I hadn’t experienced before. Gatte Ki Sabzi is one such dish.. I have developed my own version of it and absolutely love it! Glad to be sharing with you all.
