Blogging Marathon: Week 2/ Day 5
Theme: Traditional Dishes
Dish: Rajasthani Gatte ki Biryani
I have been planning to make this dish for over a year. I wanted to make it for BM# 12 when Valli had a theme for Rajasthani dishes. It was when BM was for 7 days and I actually made 4-5 dishes, but had to opt out of the marathon because I started having some serious morning sickness in my initial stages of pregnancy. So finally got to make it for this week’s “traditional’ dishes.
“Gatte’ are boiled besan/ chickpea flour logs that are cut into bite size pieces and cooked with other masalas and layered with rice to make this hearty, protein rich biryani. This is a very filling dish and one bite into ‘gatte’ will have you hooked with the earthy taste and soft texture.

Lets check out what my fellow marathoners have cooked today for BM# 27.

this is nice idea, dont think it is very popular , in maharashtra, the states near the rajasthan border, usualy make gatta biryani, which is not known as rajashtani but recipe is almost the same, except for the use of local spices

I think I bookmarked a recipe from TV show abhiruchi where a Telugu actress with Marwari background showed her mom’s recipe. It has been on my list ever since. I think I can just try your recipe now. Love the various rice dishes you have come up with for this BM.
