Contents
Gahat or Kulath (horse gram)-1 cup, oil-½ cup (preferably mustard oil), garlic-4 to 5 cloves, ginger-½ inch piece, green chillies-3 to 4, jakhiya or cumin seeds-1 tsp, asafoetida - a pinch, dry coriander powder -½ tsp, turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp, water - 3 cups, salt to taste
1. To yield best results is it strongly advised that you must soak the Gahat daal in water overnight.
2. Wash and rub the daal in running water so that it is free of seed covering (chilka). Now grind it into a dry thick paste in a mixer or on a silbatta along with green chilies, garlic and ginger.
3. In the meantime place a pan on a moderate flame. Put some oil and make thick pancakes ( like cutlets ) of the daal paste. Use only half of the paste for making the cutlets.
4. Mix water with the remaining paste making it of pouring consistency. Heat oil in a pan and add jakhiya seeds and heeng. Now add Gahat paste, turmeric powder, dry coriander powder and salt.
5. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes on slow fire. Add the Gahat cakes to the gravy and continue simmer for another 10 minutes. The gravy should have pouring consistency. If thick, add some more water and heat till it boils.
