Like most cuisines, Indian cuisine is also inspired by the regions where it was born. Thus, Rajasthani food, born in dry, arid regions, makes crafty use of kitchen staples to whip up vegetarian fare even without vegetables. Like the trademark gatte ki sabzi aka gram flour curry. It’s a mildly spiced yoghurt-based curry dish with gram dumplings (gatte). It pairs perfectly with bajra roti, wheat roti, paratha, or even steamed rice.
