Gatte ka achar recipe a.k.a. besan gatta pickle is a traditional Rajasthani pickle that brings together spicy flavours, tangy raw mango, and the unique texture of gram flour dumplings. This recipe will instantly remind you of traditional home kitchens where achars are made in big batches and stored carefully for months. You get a mix of soft, crisp, and tangy bites that come together better as the pickle rests and absorbs the spices. At first glance, it may look like a long process, but once you start, it’s quite simple. You prepare a soft yet firm dough using besan, grated raw mango, and spices. This is shaped into small pieces and fried until golden and crisp. Alongside, a freshly roasted spice blend is made to bring out that earthy, aromatic taste that defines this pickle. Everything comes together in warm mustard oil, which helps lock in the flavour. Once mixed and stored in a clean jar, the real magic begins. The spices slowly blend, the mango adds tang, and the gatte soaks up all that richness over the next few days. After about a week, this achar recipe is ready to enjoy with your everyday meals. Just make sure the pickle always stays covered in oil for the best taste and longer shelf life.

  • Homemade Kalmi Vada Recipe

    Rajasthani Kalmi Vada

    Kalmi Vadas are crispy, deep-fried lentil fritters, a popular tea-time snack from Rajasthani Cuisine. Made with a coarse batter of soaked chana dal, mixed with chopped onions, spices, and fresh herbs, these fritters are shaped into small logs and fried until golden and crunchy. Kalmi Vadas are a great example of regional recipes that bring out the bold, earthy flavours of Rajasthan. They taste especially good with tamarind chutney and a hot cup of masala chai.

Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare the spice mix

Dry roast fennel seeds, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and fenugreek seeds on low heat. Stir continuously so they don’t burn. Once you get a light aroma, turn off the heat and let them cool. Grind into a coarse powder.

 

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Make the gatte dough

Take chickpea flour in a bowl. Add ½ teaspoon chilli powder, a pinch of turmeric, and salt. Now add grated raw mango (about 2 grated mangoes) slowly and mix. The moisture from the mango will help bind the dough. Knead gently to form a firm dough without adding water.

 

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Shape and fry the gatte

Shape the dough into small rolls or bite-sized pieces. Heat mustard oil on low to medium flame and fry the gatte until they turn golden and crisp. Remove and keep them aside on a plate.

 

Description - Step 4

Step 4: Prepare the pickle base

Let the oil cool slightly (it should still be warm, but not smoking hot). Add asafoetida, remaining chilli powder, turmeric, and the ground spice mix. Mix everything well so the spices blend into the oil.

Description - Step 5

Step 5: Mix everything together

Add the fried gatte and remaining grated mango into the spiced oil. Add salt as needed and mix gently so all pieces are coated evenly.

 

Description - Step 6

Step 6: Store and mature the pickle

Let the mixture cool completely. Transfer it into a clean, dry glass jar. Ensure the pickle is fully covered with oil for longer shelf life. Keep it at room temperature for about a week so the flavours develop well.
