For Gatte:-

Mix all dry masalas in besan. Add oil to the besan and mix. Slowly add dahi and mix it. Remember not to add all together as otherwise besan tends to get sticky. You may not use all the dahi. Make it into firm dough. Now, take a small ball of the dough and roll it into 1/2 inch thick cylinderical shape. Now take a pot and boil water in it. Take enough water to put all the above made rolled gatte in it. Now, add the gatte in the boiling water. They should be fully merged in water. It should take about 10-15 min. Check by inserting a knife in one of the gatte shaped roll and make sure knife comes out clean. Once all are done, drain the gatte rolls out of water. Do not throw water as we will use it for the gravy. Cut about 1/2 - 1 inch thick gatte at an angle (based on how big you would like them). Fry them and keep aside.

For Gravy:-

Take a wide pan, add oil. Add rai, jeera and let them splutter. Now, add ginger and garlic and fry for a minute. Add onion and fry till it is translucent. Add tomato and  fry till it is all mushy. In the meantime mix Red Chili Powder, Turmeric Powder, Garam Masala, Coriander Powder, Green Chilies, Garlic, Ginger and Salt.Add yogurt (You can first add all the spices with Yogurt then add the whole mixture).During adding the Yogurt, switch off stove and add the Yogurt slowly while stirring continuously. Turn stove back on medium-high heat and add 2 cups of the reserved boiling water. Bring to a boil. Add the fried gattas and mix well.  Cover and cook on medium heat for approx 10 minutes. Serve with rice or chapati.
