  • How to Make Rajasthani Gatte Ka Pulao

























































1.
First, we need to prepare the gatte. For this, add all the ingredients to a bowl and add water to form a smooth dough. Divide it into equal portions and make small balls. Boil them in water for a few minutes, and then keep them aside.
2.
To make the pulao, heat ghee in a pressure cooker. Add jeera, elaichi, bay leaf, mustard seeds, cinnamon stick, and cloves, and saute for a minute or two. Add the onions and saute until they become golden brown in colour.
3.
Now, add the tomatoes along with the haldi and red chilli powder and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in the potatoes, carrots, and boiled gatte. Combine everything together.
4.
Add in the soaked rice and water and bring it to a boil. Once it starts to boil, cover the pressure cooker and cook for one whistle.
5.
Once done, garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot!
