    Paneer Gatta is a twist on the popular Gatte ki Subzi from the Rajasthani Cuisines. In this gravy, we mix paneer along with besan to make it quite rich and extra soft. You can steam or boil the gattas, then we can roast or fry to serve in a yogurt sauce.

    Traditionally this gatte ki sabzi is prepared with chickpea flour, but you can use moong daal flour as well. Moong dal makes the gatta lighter than the besan. However, I went ahead and used besan as I was trying to get the original taste in place. This surely makes a wonderful side dish with rice.

    I made this subzi for my Rajasthani Thali I prepared during March. Along with Tikadiyas, this yogurt-based subzi tastes really well as with Rice. Many years ago I had made Gatte Ki Sabzi for a Rajasthani Meal, where only a handful of dishes were cooked.

    This time I wanted to try a few more and the thali did end up being a little more elaborate though not equal to the Rajasthani thali that is originally served.

    We are starting the new Edition this week. I picked 'Pick one Protein-Rich Ingredient' for week 1 and I will be sharing 3 different dishes with Paneer.

    I made this Rajasthani Moong Ki Dal with this Paneer gatta to serve with Rajasthani Masala Tikadia,
