The key to making soft lauki ke gatte at home are

For lauki ke gatte

  • firstly, I made dumplings (gatte) with grated lauki, wheat flour, and rava. Rava absorbs water from lauki and makes gatta softer. Also to reduce cooking time lauki dumplings can be cooked well ahead in advance and can be added to the tempering and served with hot kadhi.
  • secondly, boil gatte on medium to high flame. Do not boil it on low flame.
  • lastly, lauki ke gatte tastes great when it is coated with tempering and served hot.

For Rajasthani kadhi

  • firstly, Rajasthani kadhi is generally prepared with an extra spicy and thin consistency. you can adjust the besan quantity for more thickness and reduce the spice level as per your taste.
  • Secondly, cook kadhi on low flame, so masala flavor absorbs in it, also once the kadhi is rested and comes to room temperature, it would gain thickness. Therefore, you may have to add water and bring it to the right consistency before reheating.
  • Lastly, the seasoning for this kadhi has to be done with ghee or clarified butter.
