Ok , I converted the above recipes and added two recipes for U.S. readers who might not have a scale...

Shahi Gatte

Serves: 6-7 adults

INGREDIENTS

2 cups plus 2 TBSP plus 2 ¼ tsp. (200 gm) Besan  (gram or chickpea flour)

1 tsp. coriander (Dhaniya)

2 TBSP. ghee  (clarified butter)

1 cup plus 1 TBSP and 2 ¼ tsp small curd cottage cheese (250 gm curd)

1 tsp. salt

2 tsp. oil  

1 tsp. red chilly powder

a pinch of tumeric (haldi)  

METHOD

Mix besan while adding ½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp red chilly powder, ½ tsp. coriander powder and ghee. Make a stiff dough.

Make 5-6 thin and long strips of the dough. Put these strips in boiling water and cook for 5 minutes.

Cut these gattas (noodles?) into small pieces.

Strain the curd through a strainer.

Add ½ tsp. salt, ½ tsp red chilly powder, ½ tsp. coriander powder and tumeric to the curd. Mix well.

Add the gatta (noodle?) pieces.

Heat oil in a kadahi.

Put the “tadka of jeera”* (regular whole cumin fried in oil or ghee briefly and the oil and then added to the dish) and add the curd mixture. Cook it for 5-7 minutes while stirring continuously till it comes to a boil. Simmer the flame and cook for another 5-7 minutes.

Turn off the gas.

Finally put the “tadka of dried red chilly powder”* (whole dried red chilly powder fried in oil or ghee briefly and then added to the dish) . Serve it with Missi Roti and Pakori ki Kadhi.
