Instructions
First mix all the ingredients for gattas (except paneer, nuts and chopped chilies) in a large bowl.
Mix them together to form a stiff dough. As we are using curd and oil, there shouldn't be any need to add water. Keep it to rest for about 10 minutes.
In a separate bowl, combine the paneer, nuts and raisins. Shape the mixture into little pea-sized balls as they would be stuffed in the gattas.
Place a saucepan full of water on heat. Let it come to a boil. In the meanwhile, let's shape and fill the gattas.
Pinch lemon sized portions from the gatta dough and shape them into balls. Press each ball between your palms to flatten. Place one paneer ball in the center of the flattened gatta and seal from all sides again shaping into a round ball. Do
Once the gatta balls are ready, drop them into boiling water one by one.
First they will sink to the bottom and as they start cooking, they will float on the top. This would take around 15-20 minutes. Once you see the gattas floating on water, dish them out on a plate.
In a wok, add some oil; let it heat. Now, add the boiled gattas and shallow fry till they turn golden all over.
Take them out and keep aside.
In the same wok, add all whole masalas. Once they crackle, add in the ginger-garlic paste. Saute for 2 minutes after which add all the dry spices and again saute for a while.
Next add in the tomato puree and let it cook until you see oil separating from the sides.
Its time now to add the whisked yogurt. Let it also cook until the oil separates.
Now add around 2 to 3 cups of water along with fried gattas and cook it covered for about 20-25 minutes on low flame.
When you see oil floating on top, your Govind Gatta Curry is ready. Season it with some garam masala and kasoori methi.Serve hot garnished with chopped coriander.
