okay, this is spurred by matt's request for recommendations in the restaurants forum.

do we have any folks from rajasthan among us? or anyone who is familiar at all with rajasthani food? how does it break down--is it mostly vegetarian? spicy? etc. etc. what are the signature dishes of the different areas/towns?

yeh sab kya ho raha hai, beta duryodhan?

QUOTE (sangeeta @ Apr 1 2006, 08:59 AM)
Hello Avni,
I am sorry I somehow managed to miss your post.
Yes a lot of people add a little bit of baking powder or cooking soda to the gatte, but I personally do not like the feel of it on my tongue. You could try using a little of it though.

About the baati I think if you try making the plain baatis it will turn out softer and flakier than the stuffed ones. The main idea is to get the dough cooked first by boiling it and then crisp the outside layer by baking it...so make sure the heat is high when you bake it.

Hi sangeeta,
I made the gatte ki sabzee last night.It turned out pretty well.The gatte were soft without my having added any soda.I boiled them in water until they floated-about 10 minutes and than transferred them to an onion-tomato gravy.I was thinking next time i should either boil them a few more minutes or maybe use a coarser Besan instead of the fine one becasue they tasted just a little 'chikna'.I am not sure this was on acct of my not having cooked them thouroughly though.
Thanks for the recipe,i still have a few extra gatta rolls left..will try the fried version next time.Will give the Batis a shot too.
thanks again
Anvi
